Turning in a homework assignment

Your source code files should follow a specific format and you will submit them to me in a specific way. These rules make it easier for me to automate the collecting, compiling, and running of your homework assignments, so it is important that you follow them carefully. If you do not follow these instructions, then my automated grading scripts may fail to grade your assignment and you may lose credit for the assignment.
Formatting your source files.
At the very beginning of each of your source files there should be a comment containing the course number, your name, your email address, and the assignment number. An example below shows how you are to format this. After this comment are your import statements. After the import statements are your class definitions. Here is a template of how a source file should look.

Your solution for an assignment may make use of several source files. What I want you to turn in is a zip file containing all of the source files for your solution (more information about creating a zip file). Please follow a very specific rule for naming your zip file. The name of your zip file should be of the form CS123Hw0Surname.zip
. The number between Hw
and Surname
is the number of the homework assignment. And Surname
is of course your last name. If your surname has more than one part, concatenate the parts together so that the zip file's name does not have any spaces in it.
Submitting your assignments.
When you are finished with your assignment, submit the zip file of your solution using the Blackboard web site for this course. After you have logged into Blackboard, go to the page for this course. You will submit homework assignments using the "Learning Materials" tool. Click on the link to the appropriate homework assignment. You should then be on a page titled "Upload Assignment". Click on the button labeled "Browse My Computer". This brings up a file chooser dialog box. Use the dialog box to navigate to the assignment zip file that you want to submit. After you select your zip file and click on the "Open" button from this dialog box, you will be back to the Blackboard "Upload Assignment" page. Click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of this page. After you have submitted your assignment, you should be at a page called "Review Submission History" and your zip file should have been successfully uploaded to Blackboard.
If your assignment is not finished but you want to send it to me in order to ask a question, then use the following procedure. Put your question in the body of an e-mail message and either put your source code in the body of the mail message, or attach your source code file to the message, or attach a zip file, whichever you think is more appropriate. The subject of the e-mail message should be of the form "Question CS 12300 Hw0". (If you attach a zip file to an e-mail message, be aware that some mail servers will not forward messages with zip file attachments. You can fool some of these mail servers by changing the extension of the zip file to something like "gif" or "png".)
