CS 322: Submitting Programming Assignments

0. If you had pre-enrolled in CS322, then your student information has been entered into the Course Management System (CMS) and you are ready to use the system. If you added CS322 after January 1, 2004, then  email one of the TAs (adam or gun) and they will add you to the system.

1. In  a given assignment, you will be asked to submit a specified set of Matlab .m files. We will run these, grade them, and make the result available to you through the CMS system. So before you proceed further, know where these files are located in your directories so that you can respond properly  at the time of uploading. In assignment 1, these are Area.m, newfinitefern.m, A1C.m, AccuDerivative.m, and A1D.m. (Case sensitive.)

2. Go to the CMS website: http://cms.csuglab.cornell.edu/ 

3. You will be prompted to log on. Log on using your CU NetID and password. Select CS322  under Courses. 

4. If you are not working with a partner, then click on the submit button to upload (submit) the 
file(s). For each requested file, click Browse... to locate your file. It does not matter if your file name is 
different from the the requested file name. During upload, your file name will be converted to our 
requested file name. Click upload. 

5. If you work with a partner, click the groups button to register your group before submitting files. 
Enter your partner's netID. Click Invite. Now your partner must log on CMS and accept your 
invitation. At that point, either partner can submit the files as described in the previous steps.  

You can find detailed instructions by clicking Help (near top right corner of screen) in CMS. 

Additional notes:

• We will accept homework properly submitted through CMS only. We will not 
  accept any excuses for not submitting work on time on CMS. 

• Groups must be registered for each homework, they do not "carry over".. Group registration must take place before file submission.

• Each requested file has a size limit that is much bigger than a typical, correct file. If CMS reports 
  that your file is too big, the usual reason is that you submitted a file in an incorrect format. 

• Once CMS accepts an uploaded file, it will display the time of upload and the size of the uploaded file. The file size is one way for you to check that you submitted the file you intended to upload. 

• Start submitting your files early! Don't wait until the deadline. If necessary, you can re-upload any files during the submission period. The submission period starts when the assignment is distributed (usually) and end with the dues date/time. The latest file will be graded. Don't wait until the deadline when traffic is congested and slows to a crawl.
