Instructions for Submitting Homework Electronically

 

Written homework and lab reflections should be turned in on paper in class. Programming assignments should be submitted electronically using the following procedure. The lab computers are not set up to handle e-mail. Therefore, the first thing you must do is copy any files you wish to submit onto a floppy or zip disk. (This is a good practice anyway, so you will have a backup copy in case the system you are working on becomes unstable and needs to be reinstalled.)

  1. Insert the floppy or zip disk into the computer
  2. At the shell prompt, use the mount command to connect your disk's contents to the Unix directory tree.
    • For a zip: mount /dev/hdd4
    • For a floppy: mount /dev/fd0
    Your disk will now be accessible at either /mnt/zip or /mnt/floppy, respectively.
  3. Copy the files from wherever they are stored, into the appropriate disk directory.
  4. Unmount the disk before ejecting it:
    • For a zip: umount /dev/zip
    • For a floppy: umount /dev/floppy
  5. Take the disk to any normal lab machine and mail the file in an attachment to 262b@cs.smith.edu. Make sure the subject of the e-mail is Submitting Lab2 (or whatever the assignment is you are submitting). The body of the e-mail message should include your name, so that the work may be properly credited.
