How to submit assignments?
Late Policy
- You have 9 free late days across all assignments (but only maximum 7 can be used for a single assignment).
- You can use late days for any assignment. A late day extends the deadline for an assignment by 24 hours.
- Once you have used all late days, for each additional late day, the penalty is a 25% decrease in grade on that assignment.
How to submit assignments? (in general)
For each assignment, you will be required to submit two packages unless specified otherwise: your code and your webpage:
Submit code to Canvas
For every assignment you should create a main.py
that can be used to run all your code for the assignment, and a README.md file that contains all required
documentation. Place all source code used to generate your results, as well as any documentation
required to
use the code, in a folder named andrewid_code_projX where X is the hw number. Zip
the
whole folder and submit the zip to Canvas. Here is an example of what your folder structure should look like:
andrewid_code_proj1/
main.py
README.md
utils.py
....
## zip the whole folder to andrewid_code_proj1.zip:
Submit your webpage to the class website
We will use Andrew File System(AFS) to store and display webpages. Here is a step by step tutorial for how to do this:
- Please make sure to remove all version control directories (e.g.
.git) from your website folder, and make sure that the total size is reasonable (less than 20 mb) - Please use one of the images here to indicate on your webpage the number of late days used.
- Place your website under folder
projXand zip it. Please make sure that your main report page is calledindex.htmlso browsers open it automatically. X is the hw number. - Remote Copy. Use WinSCP or your favorite scp/ftp tool to copy all your files to your Andrew home
directory
scp projX.zip username@linux.andrew.cmu.edu:/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr/andrew_id/. - Log in to a Unix Andrew machine:
ssh username@linux.andrew.cmu.edu - File Transfer. Unzip your website and copy the folder to your project directory:
cp -r projX/ /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/course/16/889/www/projects/andrew_id/projX. The folder structure should look like this:# suppose you are at /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/course/16/889/www/projects/andrew_id proj1/ index.html data/... proj2/ index.html data/... - Publish. The course website needs to be refreshed with your updated files. Do that by going here, choosing web pages for a course, and inputing 16-889.
- Last step, test your page by visiting:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/16-889/projects/andrew_id/projX/.
FAQs
- Remember NOT to use any absolute links to images etc, as these will not work online. Only use relative links.
- Do not try using WinSCP or similar to copy directly from your laptop to your class project directory as you don’t have the credentials to do so.
- Afs gets unhappy if your quota is full. Run
fs quotato see the percent used; if it’s close to 100 percent, delete things (java and matlab dumps, large tif’s…) before trying the copy again. - If you have problems with images not appearing on your page, check that 1) filenames match your html files (e.g. .JPG vs .jpeg). 2) relative path is used from the correct root directory.
- Please contact a TA if there are problems.
