How to turn in assignments

Daily Homework

• I want hard copies of all homework. Electronic copies emailed to me are not acceptable.
• Write your name(s) on the top of every page even if the pages are stapled together (the paper tears easily when I am grading it).
• If you tear the pages out of a spiral notebook, be sure and remove all the little torn bits on the edge of the paper.
• Please use both sides of the paper to save trees.
• You are welcome to work with another classmate on the homework. In that case, you may hand in a joint solution (with both your names on it) or separate solutions. If you hand in separate solutions, you should still indicate with whom you worked.

Programming Projects

• I want hard copies of all source code files that you created or modified. Do not hand in hard copies of any code that I gave you unless you modified that code.
• Be sure and print on both sides of the paper and (ideally) print two pages per side to save trees.
• I also want an electronic copy of all source files, including the ones you haven't modified.
• We will not be using the General Server for turning in electronic copies of programming projects as you may have used in previous courses; instead I will want you to email your projects to me. Here is how to do it.
• If you are using BlueJ, save your whole project as a jar file including the source code. To do so, choose Project|Export... from the menu bar and click the "Store as jar file" button and the "include source" check box. Then click the "Continue" button to save the jar file.
• If you are using Eclipse, save your source code files to a zip file containing only the source code. To do so, choose "File|Export..." from the menu bar and select the "Zip file" destination. Then click the "Next" button. In the next window, click the check box in front of the project in the upper-left panel and then click the check boxes for the source code files in the upper-right panel. After naming the zip file appropriately, click the "Finish" button.
• If you are using Netbeans or some other development environment, save the source code to a zip file or jar file using that environment's tools or using a zipping utility such as WinZip or EasyZip.
• Save your jar or zip file by the name "Project<X>.<your-last-name>.zip" or "Project<X>.<your-last-name>.jar". For example, my solution to Project1 would be named "Project1.Skrien.zip".
• Attach the jar or zip file to an email message to me at djskrien@colby.edu.
• Remember that all Java source code files (hard copies and electronic copies) must have a file header containing the following information:

  /* 
   * File: Main.java <substitute your file name here> 
   * Name: Dale Skrien <substitute your name here> 
   * Class: CS 361 
   * Project 1 <substitute the project or lab number here> 
   * Date: February 7 <substitute the due date here> 
   */

  Note that this is a file header for my use in organizing the code that you turn in. This file header does not replace the class headers, which should also be included before each class definition in each file. The class header summarizes the role of the class and lists the author of the class using the "@author" Javadoc tag. The name given in the file header should always be your name, even if you are not the author of the classes defined in the file. For example, any files you turn in that I created for you should have my name as author and should have your name at the top in the file header.
