CS 110 Assignment Submission Instructions

With all assignments, please hand in (1) a hard-copy document and (2) a sketch folder containing your source code that was submitted electronically using Dropbox.

Follow the steps described below to submit your assignment.

Note that these items must be completed before class begins on the date the assignment is due.  It is entirely your responsibility to ensure that your work is submitted appropriately by the due date. Failure to do so will result in loss of credit for the assignment under the course late policy.

Step 1:  Source Code Header Comments

Add the following lines to the top of your source code files, with the appropriate assignment number, name, email address and date of submission.

/*****************************************
 * Assignment ##
 * Name:         your name
 * E-mail:       your school e-mail
 * Course:       CS 110 - Section ##
 * Submitted:    The date your submitted the assignment
 * 
 * A description of the file contents.
***********************************************/

Step 2:  Name your file and folders appropriately

Please choose a name for all files and sketch folders that starts with the word sketch followed by a two digit assignment number and your email id. For example, if my email address is jsmith and I am submitting one Word file and one Processing sketch folder as part of my first assignment, I would name the file sketch01jsmith.docx and name the sketch sketch01jsmith.

Yes, you must follow this naming convention for all submissions.

Note that your sketch folder should contain a document that includes the following:

1. One or two sentences that characterize the sketch.
2. A short paragraph describing the sketch's implementation. Highlight the distinctive features or techniques used.
3. The complete, commented source code for your sketch.

Step 3:  Submitting files using Dropbox

All assignment documents and sketch folders will be submitted using Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com). Before your first assignment is due, you will receive an email invitation to join the Dropbox folder sharing service. To register with Dropbox, follow these instructions.

• Go to http://www.dropbox.com or click on the link sent in the email invitation.
• Fill out the information for creating a new account:
• First Name
• Last Name
• Email Address
• Password

1. From the desktop dropbox icon: open the My Dropbox and then the folder with your name on it.
   
2. Select and copy the folder you are submitting into this folder. Dropbox will automatically sync the new submission with the shared folder.
3. Test your submission by running your sketch (double click on the sketch file within Dropbox to open it).  If it does not works for you, it will not work for us.
   
4. Once you submit your files, do not touch them after the due date and time until you receive your grade.  This will ensure that the timestamp reflects the accurate submission time and your assignment is considered on-time.
   

1. From any web browser, sign in to dropbox.com
2. Choose the course folder with your name on it, and click the upload button.
   
3. Select the file and/or folder you are submitting, and then click to start the upload.

One common mistake is to only submit your .pde file.  Be certain that your .pde file was submitted inside a folder of the same name, and that all necessary files (e.g., photos, fonts, etc.) needed to run the sketch were included within this folder. 

Look at your shared dropbox folder.  By the end of the course, it should contain seven directories (and ONLY those directories):  sketch01jsmith, sketch02jsmith, ...

Step 4:  Upload your sketch to OpenProcessing.org

Step 5:  Submit a hard copy of your assignment before the start of class

All submission must be made before the start of class on the day the assignment is due. It is entirely your responsibility to ensure that your work is placed in the assigned folder by the due date. Failure to do so will result in loss of credit for the assignment under the course late policy.
