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

After the account is created, you may choose to download the Dropbox client program and install it on your computer, although this is not necessary. If you install Dropbox on your computer, a folder will be created named "My Dropbox," and in it will be a folder with your name that is shared. This is where you will copy your files and assignment folders for submission and grading. Make sure that Dropbox finishes copying all of your files.

If you do install the dropbox program, follow these instructions to upload your files:

From the desktop dropbox icon: open the My Dropbox and then the folder with your name on it that I've shared with you via e-mail.
Select and copy the folder you are submitting into this folder. Dropbox will automaticall sync the new submission with the shared folder.
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.

If you do not install the Dropbox client program, you must upload files into the shared folder by performing the following:

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

In the shared folder with your name, create a directory with the name of the assignment followed by your name (e.g., Assignment1Eaton). To submit your files for an assignment, simply place all source files into this directory. I strongly suggest you also compile and test your program from this directory. Please be certain that your submission includes all source files, all compiled class files, and (if necessary) a readme txt file that provides instructions for running your program.
