Most of the labs you submit will be projects written in BlueJ. Here is how to submit them:
- Rename the bluej project folder to labNetusername.labX where ‘X’ is the lab number. Example: if Amy Student was submitting Lab 1, she would rename her blueJ project astudent.lab1. If you do not name your project this way, I won’t find it in my dropbox.
- “Zip up” your project folder. How you do this depends on whether you’re using a mac or a pc. The following usually works:
– Right-click (or ctrl-click on the mac) the project folder and…
(pc) select: “send to->compressed (Zipped) folder”
(mac OS 10.4) select: “Create archive of ‘folder name‘”
(mac OS 10.5) select: “Compress ‘folder name’“This will create a file called LabNetID.labX.zip in the same directory as the project folder. This is the file you will submit. - Connect to files.ucls.uchicago.edu and navigate to:
Public -> Faculty -> bfranke
and drag and drop your zipped project folder into my “Drop Box”
(you may get funny error messages and warnings about not being able to see the result of this, but that’s okay).
MAC users: connect to files.ucls. by selecting Go->Connect To Server from the Finder in the same way you’ve done since middle school.
PC users: You will need to download a program that allows you to connect via SFTP to the files server. I recommend WinSCP. You should connect using the SFTP protocol and you will have to navigate your way down a long path to find my public folder:
/Network/Servers/files.ucls.uchicago.edu/Volumes/SAN/Data/Users/Faculty/bfranke/Public
(sorry, but them’s the breaks). - Many times I will confirm receipt of your program, but not always. If I don’t have by the time I get around to grading it, I’ll try to let you know and give you the benefit of the doubt. Don’t let that become a pattern.
