Comp201: Principles of Object-Oriented Programming I
Spring 2008 -- Assignments General Information   

To upload your completed assignments, go to the Owlspace page

Save all of your work on your U: drive under a directory called Comp201 and within a subdirectory with an appropriate name, e.g. U:\Comp201\HW03. To turn in your work, zip up the entire assignment directory (e.g. HW03) and turn in that single zipped file (see below for instructions on how to zip up a directory).

Assignment Guidelines

  1. All students are expected to complete their own, individual work unless group work is explicitly authorized by the instructors.
    1. This includes the writing of all code and comments.
    2. Code may not be copied in any manner from another student without explicit permission from the instructors.
  2. Students may, and are encouraged to, discuss "high-level" concepts and issues with each other concerning any assignment, but may not discuss specific syntactic details of how the assignment is to be implemented.

Violation of these guidelines will be considered an Honor Code violation.

A Honor Pledge file must now be included with every submitted homework. Click here to download a template where you can fill in your name and the name of the current assignment.

Please see the Schedule page for information about individual assignments.

Zipping up files

On Windows XP:

  1. Browse to the directory containing your homework directory.
  2. Right-click the homework directory and select "Send To"
  3. Select "Compressed (zipped) Folder".
  4. A file with the same name as the homework folder but with a ".zip" extension will be created.  Hand this file in.

 

To zip up a directory on a Windows 2000 machine with Winzip installed:

  1. Open up My Computer and browse to the desired directory.
  2. Right-click the desired directory and select "Add to XXXX.zip" where XXXX is the desired directory.
  3. A zipped file called XXXX.zip will be created in the parent directory of the desired directory. To check its contents, simply double-click the file and Winzip will automatically open with that zip file.

Some Owlnet computers do not have Winzip available on the right-click menu, even though it is installed. Use this procedure in that case:

  1. Find the Winzip program under Start/Programs/Utilities. We recommend that you right drag the icon onto your desktop and select "Create Shortcuts(s) Here". That way, you can find it more easily.
  2. Start Winzip. If it does not open in "Classic" mode, be sure to select it on the opening screen. (Note: the first time you use Winzip, it will ask you to install it. simply follow the prompts, selecting "Classic" interface when prompted. When running, Winzip should look like the screen shot below.
  3. Open up My Computer and browse to the directory that holds the desired directory (e.g. /Comp201).
  4. Drag the desired directory (e.g. HW01) onto the blank area in the Winzip window.
  5. Winzip will prompt you for a filename for the archive (zip file). Name it something useful such as "hw01.zip". Be sure it is located in the parent directory (e.g. Comp201), contrary to Winzip's default location which will cause it to attempt to zip the zip file into itself. Click on "Add"
  6. Because of network problems, sometimes Winzip will hiccup and say that the archive operation was interrupted. Just select "Continue".
  7. After all the files have been transferred into Winzip. verify that that they are all indeed there, including any subdirectories.
  8. Close Winzip and upload your homework.
