how to submit your exercises for grading

We use the submit utility developed by the University of Utah School of Computing. Here you will find an executive summary of how it works. Type man submit for details. To get started, try

submit p7730
to list upcoming assignments. If an assignment, say "a01" is on tap to be submitted, use

submit p7730 a01
to list all the files that you may have submitted for that assignment. Note that the assignment name must match one of the assignments you see when you type submit p7730.

submit p7730 a01 file1 file2 file3
submits your files file1, file2 and file3 for the assignment a01. The file names should be exactly as requested in the assignment. You may submit files all at once or submit only some of them and the rest at a later time. If you submit the same file twice, the second version replaces the previous version. So be sure any replacements are complete. If you submit the wrong file, you can't delete it, but we will ignore it.

Permissions and late submissions: When the due date has passed, the instructor closes the assignment, and no more submissions are permitted. You will get the message "not authorized" if you can't submit. Unfortunately, at this point this software also won't even let you list the files you submitted.

Caution: The assignments you submit are identified by the login name of the session in which you submit. If you change your login name or if you change the account from which you submit homework, please notify the instructor. Otherwise, you might not get credit for the work you submit.
