CSC 480 Fall 2000 -- Submission of Assignments

Submission Procedure

In general, I expect programming assignments to be submitted via electronic mail to fkurfess@csc.calpoly.edu.

Formats

Send me your material as attachments to an email message. Please note that binary files (executables, .doc, .xls) may not get through the email system undamaged if you include them directly (not as attachment) in an email message. If you compressed or archived several files (e.g. via zip, gzip, tar), indicate that both in the README file and in the accompanying email message.

Material to be Submitted

Depending on the type of the assignment, you need to submit the following material:

written assignments (e.g. essays, questions, calculations)
1. text document with the questions and your answers
programming assignments
1. a README file (in plain ASCII text, named "README") with
  - your name
  - a short description of what your program is supposed to do
  - its main components (files, classes, methods, libraries/packages used)
  - instructions on how to install and run your program
  - alternative setup descriptions (e.g. if you use JDK 1.2 instead of JDK 1.1.7)
  - possibly some example data used to test your program.
2. all the files containing source code for your program
3. files with additional information, e.g. configuration parameters or data sets
4. the executables for your program (Java Bytecode)

Acknowledgement of Receipt

I will acknowledge the receipt of messages with assignments as soon as I receive them. If you haven't heard from me within 24 hours (except for the weekend) or at the latest the day after the deadline, check with me to make sure I received your assignment.
