ENGR 131: Lab Assignment and Problem Set Submission

For this course, we will be using Blackboard to submit completed Lab Assignments and Problem Sets

More specifically, you will

Complete your work in files named as required, placed in a directory named as required
"Zip" your problem set folder/directory, which creates a single .zip file
Upload your zipped file to Blackboard by picking the Assignment and, using "Attach File"

Each of these is explained in more detail below.

Note on Due Date/Time

Problem Sets are due in the Blackboard on the same date and time for all students (before lecture, i.e., by 10:30am). Recall, that it is course policy that no late homeworks will be accepted.

Required Names for Files and Folders/Directories

Place all your work in a folder/directory named using the convention of PS followed by the problem set number, followed by your last name (dropping any hyphens or apostrophes), followed by your first initial. For example,
PS1LastnameF           [Pattern for PS1]
PS2BranickyM           [PS2 for Michael Branicky]
PS8OHaraS                 [PS8 for Scarlett O'Hara]
PS11AbdulJabbarK [PS11 for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar]
Name each program as indicated in your problem set. Store answers to other questions as plain (ASCII) text, named with the following convention:
pr1.txt [for a textual answer to Problem X.1 on PS#X]
pr3out.txt [for program output as in Problem 1.3 on PS#1]
All Java programs themselves should follow conventions for formatting and naming variables/classes. They should include proper comments. Read Section 2.14 of Liang for complete details before you start programming.

The idea is to zip your problem set folder, producing a single .zip file, which can then be uploaded to Blackboard.

In Brief: On folder name, perform

     Right click, Send To -> Compressed(zipped) Folder

Microsoft's own Detailed Instructions (which requires cookies!). Scroll down for your OS. For example, the Windows XP section illustrates the above-stated procedure.

In Brief: On folder name, perform

     Control Click (aka ControlKey-MouseClick) -> Create Archive of "..."

iA slightly expanded version of above
Alternative for advanced users: To compress directory foo, execute at the command line (in the directory foo is stored in)
```
     % zip -r foo foo
```
It will produce a new file called foo.zip in the same directory that foo resides in.
