A few helpful hints (read and please follow these guidelines) about turning in electronic assignments:

  1. Important: Submit your assignment as text only. No MIME attachements, no Word/Word Perfect/Works documents.
  2. Always include CS403 and your section number in the Subject field of your email -- this helps me weed out SPAM and serves as a flag that your email is important!
  3. Always cc (carbon copy) yourself on an assignment you turn in. Keep this copy until after the semester is over. This way if something gets lost, you a have record indicating the time the assignment was turned in and what it was.
  4. Use your own UNH e-mail account to submit homework assignments. It becomes confusing trying to figure out who submitted the homework if you submit using your roommate's e-mail account (for example) and you forget to sign it. (Plus it might make us wonder who actually did the assignment...)
  5. As soon as (make sure they are really the grades and not just a template) assignment grades are posted check them to make sure you were given credit (if you turned the assignment in). You have 10 days from the time the assignment grades are posted to report any grading errors.
  6. Plan to have the assignment done in advance. With the equipment problems, number of users, ... 'nuf said.
  7. If there is a problem, please consult with the instructor or teaching assistant.
