Homework

Homework problems may be submitted using the submit command from mercury.cs.uml.edu.
The form of the submit command is given for each homework assignment. The effect of the submit command is to create a create or overwrite a .tar.gz file in a particular directory. All files for an assignment must be submitted with a single submit command.

All problems involving creating code require submitting a file or files containing the code. The names for the code files are given in the homework. Use those names! Failure to use the correct names will result in any preliminary checking software to fail, with the result that you may initially receive a 0 for a problem submitted under an incorrect name. After you have told the course staff what incorrect name you used for the file, the problem may be regraded with some number of points deducted for making the TA's job harder than necessary.

Problems that do not contain code may be hand-written so long as they are legible. If you prefer to submit ASCII text instead of handing in paper, submit as problems.txt. We can also accept Postscript (problems.ps) or Portable Document Format (problems.pdf). We can not accept submissions in proprietary formats other than pdf. (This means no .doc files!) If you have hand-written homework, and you are submitting it late, you can scan it and submit it as problems-1.jpg ... problems-n.jpg Hand-written homework left under the instructor's office door will accrue late days until picked up, and may become unacceptably late. Once again: remember to submit all files in one submit command!
