HOMEWORK 00 - SUBMISSION PRACTICE
In previous versions of this course, many students have had problems with submitting a given homework assignment correctly. The student then loses several points on his/her homework assignment, just because of a submission problem. This makes us sad.
Thus, we offer you the opportunity to practice submitting a homework assignment (your choice; no points). As Aristotle said For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them. (We'll ignore Billie Joe Armstrong's alternative view of practice, i.e., School is practice for the future, and practice makes perfect. But nobody's perfect, so why practice?)
In Lab 01, you created and executed your first C++ Program. Let's go ahead and submit this program to Blackboard for practice!
Using Windows Explorer, not to be confused with Internet Explorer, find the location of your project. If you followed the directions on Lab 01 closely, this location is on your Z:\ drive at CSCI261\Lab01\Lab01\ (where the first Lab01 is the Solution name and the second Lab01 is the project name).
Now, using our course's homework submission instructions, submit the main.cpp code from Lab 01 to Week00 in Blackboard. Your main.cpp file should be within a directory called HW00, which is itself in a directory called Week00. See homework submission instructions for details on the desired directory structure. If you submit this file by Saturday evening, we will 'grade' it (again, zippo points) and let you know if your submission was NOT correct by Monday evening.
In summary, for the optional homework due on Saturday, follow these specific steps:
- create a directory called week00.
- within week00, create one subdirectory: HW00. (We will have more subdirectories in all future weeks.)
- within your new week00/HW00 directory, copy in your main.cpp file from your HW00 solution.
- compress the week00 directory (see Step 3 here for details).
- submit the week00.zip file to Blackboard (see Steps 5-10 here for details).
- after you submit, download the file and double check it contains all that you think it contains!
