Submitting solutions

With the exception of the final lab, each lab is due at the beginning of the lab session following the lab in which it is assigned. Submitting your solution has two parts: the electronic submission and the paper report.

To submit your program electronically, type the following at the command line.

% handincs 160 X      (where X is the number of the lab being submitted)

This will copy your files into a directory where we can grade them. The handincs program will verify each file that it has copied. If it does not verify success for a file, then we have not received the file, and you will not receive full credit for it.

The paper report must be typed. Using an editor like NEdit is fine for this purpose. (There's an icon on your desktop for starting it; it's also in the K-menu under the Editors submenu.)

An introduction of two to four sentences of your own words summarizing the lab and/or what you hope to gain from it. (Though you might refer to the objectives listed at the beginning of this lab, your introduction should never simply restate of these goals.)
The body of the labs. Some labs may specify what should appear in the body; if not, include listings of the Java code you wrote for the assignment.

Some of your grade on your programs will be based on the appearance and readability of your program. Programs should be well-formatted (especially with respect to indentation). You should use good names for variables, methods, and classes. And your code should have comments explaining what methods do and how they work. As a general rule, a well-formatted program should be easily understandable by a fool, a TA, or even a professor.

For each file included in the lab's body, be sure to include titles so that the reader can easily move between class definitions.
A conclusion of three or four sentences reflecting on the lab. For example, you might answer some of the following questions.
- Did you face any unusual difficulties while completing the lab?
- What would you do differently given a similar problem?
- Did you learn anything you didn't initially expect?
- Do you feel you need additional work on any of the objectives?
