We will use 'turnin' for homework submissions. The 'turnin' program is a generic script that uses Subversion to enable homework submission and storage. It is available only in the Clear cluster.
Guide to turning in homework from a personal Windows machine.
One time Setup in CLEAR
- Login to CLEAR:
ssh <your netid>@ssh.clear.rice.edu
<your password> - Make a new empty directory comp311 in your home directory and switch to that directory:
mkdir comp311
cd comp311
- Use Subversion to check out your submission directory:
svn checkout https://svn.rice.edu/r/COMP311-FALL15/turnin/F15/<your netid>
- You might be asked if you wish to store your password unencrypted. Always say no when asked this.
- Now you should have a folder named <your netid> in the comp311 directory you created.
Submitting your Homework
Follow the steps below to submit all your homeworks using turnin on CLEAR. Note that you can do your homework on any machine. The instructions below include steps to copy it to CLEAR and submit it.
- Go to the folder (on your machine) that contains all (and only) the files you are submitting for your homework.
