Information specific to UTSC campus only

The following contains information that is relevant to UTSC students only.

Midterm Information - UTSC

2. Duration of the midterm will be 90 minutes.

 Electronic Assignment Submission for UTSC Students

All assignments must be electronically submitted by the specified deadline. As well - you must submit a paper copy within the first 10 minutes of class. If you plan to submit late (and take the applicable penalty), be sure to email your electronic copy to the professor. Otherwise, your assignment will probably not get marked.

All assignments are submitted on starveling:

You may submit from the lab PCs or from home.The steps are very similar. Please note that not being able to submit from home is NOT an excuse for being late; if you're not sure how to do it (especially for the first assignment) the night before the assignment is due is probably not a good time to start. You have practiced submitting from the lab.

If you are going to try from home, you need two pieces of software, and an address to connect to (starveling's address). The software is listed below; here is the address: starveling.utsc.utoronto.ca

1. Download PuTTY from here - the same application you used in the computer labs to log in to starveling.
2. Download and install PSCP or PSFTP from this sight as well. These will allow you to save files on your home directory, from home.

To Submit

1. Ensure that your assignment files are on your home directory. Once you have placed your files on your home directory, you have to submit them into the proper submit directory. This step is the same for the labs and for home:
2. Log in to starveling using PuTTY - use the same userid/password combination you use for the labs or the intranet.
3. Use the cd dirname command on starveling to navigate to the directory dirname that has your files in it.
4. Use the submit command to submit your assignment, as follows:
   submit -N An cscc43h A B C
   Where n is your current assignment number (1 for A1, 2 for A2, etc.) and a, b, etc. are the files you created for the assignment.

Notes:

1. If you have more than one file to submit, you don't have to submit them all at the same time.
2. You can always re-submit a file (or set of files) if you think you have a better version by using:
   submit -N An -f cscc43h Whateveryoufilename
   The -f after the assignment number will force the submit of the new file(s). This will delete the existing version of the file(s).
3. Important: Pair submits: starveling does not know who your partner is, so please do NOT split your submits - only one of a pair needs to submit; whoever it is, they must submit everything.
4. You can check your submits with the command:
   listsub cscc43h An
5. For more information about the submission command - check the man page (man submit).
