Turnin Instructions


All written/programming assignments are to be turned in electronically (no hard copy is required).

To turnin your assignments electronically, use the following command:

	/usr/bin/turnin assignment@class "list-of-files"

"list-of-files" is a space seperated list of "source" files you wish to
submit. If a Makefile is used, it must be turned in.  

For example if my first homework consists of one .h file (def.h), two
.c files and a Makefile (Makefile):

	-rw-------   1 yfwang   faculty        1 Sep 13 14:39 Makefile
	-rw-------   1 yfwang   faculty        1 Sep 13 14:39 def.h
	-rw-------   1 yfwang   faculty        1 Sep 13 14:39 func.c
	-rw-------   1 yfwang   faculty        1 Sep 13 14:39 main.c


Then, in this case I will execute the following command:

	/usr/bin/turnin prog1@cs291a Makefile def.h func.c main.c

After a few seconds the computer responds with the following:

	These are the regular files being turned in:
	
           Last Modified   Size   Filename
            -------------- ------  -------------------------
         1: 09/13/99 14:39      1  Makefile
         2: 09/13/99 14:39      1  def.h
         3: 09/13/99 14:39      1  func.c
         4: 09/13/99 14:39      1  main.c

	*******************************************************************

	You are about to turnin 4 files [4KB] for prog1 to cs291a 

	*** Do you want to continue? y
	a Makefile 1K
	a def.h 1K
	a func.c 1K
	a main.c 1K

	*** TURNIN OF prog1 TO cs291a COMPLETE! ***

The directory argument 'prog1' is for the first programming assignment.
So 'prog2' will be for the 2nd programming assignment and so on.
For class project, use 'project' in place of 'prog1' and 'prog2'.

When you invoke the 'turnin' program it will report back to you which files have been submitted succesfully.  
Duplicate submissions for the same assignment will result in earlier versions being overwritten by newer files. 
Therefore if you make changes/improvements to your assignment you can simply do a new turnin before the deadline.
But do turn in ALL the files each time, instead of just those you modified after the previous turnin.

For more detailed information, try

	% man turnin

LATE TURNINS WITHOUT A DOCUMENTED EMERGENCY WILL RESULT IN 20% PENALTY FOR ANY FRACTION OF A DAY LATE, UP TO TWO DAYS.
