Assignment Submission Instruction for CIS 4450

Hardcopy and Soft Copy

• All submissions are due at the time when the lecture starts on the announced due date.
  
  
• Programs and related documents for programming problems should be submitted electronically, except any diagrams for illustration.
  
  
• Answers to short-answer questions and illustration diagrams (as part of the programm documentation) should be submitted in hardcopy.
  
  

Hardcopy Submission

• Indicate clearly your full name, student number, course number and assignment number. If student name and student number can not be easily identified, the submission will be discarded. The student who made the submission will receive zero for the assignment.
  
  
• Keep a copy of your submission for problem resolution.
  
  

Electronic Submission

• Electronic submission has its advantages but also introduces issues not present for hardcopy submission. The procedure explained below is designed to achieve a balance of convenience of students, management work load, and academic integrity.
  
  
• Files are to be compressed into a zip file from a Windows based computer. Mac users should check to ensure their compressed files are Windows compatible, as problems have occured in the past with Mac compressed files.
  
  
• A submitted zip file should contain java source files, compiled class files as well as sample output. In addition, it should contain a readme.txt file in plain text (ASCII format).
  
  
• The readme.txt file should include your full name, student number, course number, assignment number and instructions on how to run your program. You may append any additional information that are helpful for marking your assignment.
  
  
• The submission should be sent to cis4450@socs.uoguelph.ca. Include the course number and assignment number in the subject line.
  
  
• Assignment should be mailed from your uoguelph email account. Please do not submit from your other email accounts.
  
  
• Keep a copy of your email submission for problem resolution. If a student claims submission but the submission was not received, the original email record can be used to support the claim. The claim will not be considered if the student fails to provide the original email record.

Resubmission

• Multiple electronic submissions of the same assignment cause confusion and can jam the mailbox. Please check carefully your assignment before submitting and refrain from resubmissions.
  
  
• If a submission has been received from a student before the due time, resubmissions from the same student after due time will be discarded.
  
  
• If resubmission is absolutely necessary, you may do so but only before the due time. The subject line of each resubmission should indicate so with the number of resubmission, e.g., "first resubmission". Only the last submission before the due time will be marked and all others will be discarded.
