CSU 211 Online Homework Submission

From now on we will be using online submission for the programming component of all assignments in this course. Instructions for using the homework server are below. We will go over them in lab, but keep this page bookmarked as you will need to do this each week.

Installing the Submission Plugin

Download the plugin to your computer. Use the "File" / "Install .plt file" menu option to install this file. Once it completes you must restart DrScheme. If it installs correctly, you will have a CSU211 Handin button in your DrScheme window.

Verifying your Account

Each of you should have an account in the homework server. Your username is your full name written FirstnameLastname (for instance, my account is "CarlEastlund") and your password is the last 4 digits of your student ID. Use the "File" / "Manage CSU211 Handin Account" menu option and the "Change Info" tab to get the current information on your account. Enter your username and "old" password, then click "Get Current Info". Update any incorrect information and change your password to something you will remember. Then click "Change Info" or "Set Password" as appropriate.

Submitting Homework

To submit your homework, make sure it is open in DrScheme's current Definitions window as well as saved to disk. Then click "CSU211 Handin" to open the popup window. For pair submissions, enter both usernames joined by "+", as in "CarlEastlund+MattHoran". Enter either person's password. Select the correct homework name. When you are ready, click "CSU211 Handin" within the popup window. DrScheme will report whether your submission is successful at the top of the window. If it fails, READ the error message and correct your submission appropriately.

Checking Grades

Log in to this page using your handin server username and password. It will take you to a page listing all of the homeworks so far. For each homework, it shows whether you have handed in yet, a link to the latest submission once you've handed in, and your grade once we enter it.
