Turning In Assignments
Unless otherwise specified, follow these instructions to turn in each homework assignment.
- Make a directory D named “e_name_HWn” where
- e_name is your @neu.edu email address with “.” converted to “_”, and
- n is the number of this homework assignment.
For example, if the instructor were to hand in HW1, D would be “m_vona_HW1”. Put all files and subdirectories related to your assignment below D. - Make a plain-text (ASCII) file D/README.txt, with the following contents:
- a description of how to compile your code, if necessary
- a description of how to execute your code, if necessary
- a list of any known bugs or incomplete aspects of your assignment
- a list of any extra-credit you have added
- Using either a pkzip-compatible (e.g.
zip on *nix) archiver or tar | gz, make a single-file archive of the directory tree under D, including D itself. The file should be named either D.zip or D.tar.gz, accordingly. - In a separate temporary directory, test uncompressing your submission. Verify that the top-level directory D is contained in your archive. If the assignment included writing code, ensure that your instructions for both compilation and execution will work for the course staff when we grade your assignment. If you have any question about whether the tools (compiler etc) or libraries you used will be available to us, you must have resolved that question prior to handing in your work.
- Email your archive to the course instructor at the email address listed on the course homepage. Be aware that large attachments (greater than 25MB) will not go through.
