CSC 481 Winter 2001 Assignment Submission

Submission Procedure

In general, I expect assignments to be submitted electronically 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 your assignment consists of several files, put them in an archive file (e.g. via zip, gzip, tar), and 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
  - the setup you're using (e.g. CLIPS 6.10)
  - 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. files containing the input parameters and the output produced for test runs

Acknowledgement of Receipt

I usually 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 two days after the deadline, check with me to make sure I received your assignment.
