Homework

Instructions

• Create a directory called lastname-firstnameinitial-homeworknumber (for example, mueller-r-1). Dashes are optional (for example, muellerr1).
• Copy in this directory:
  • Design document and other notes (if any)
  • A statement on assumptions, missing features, potential software problems, software boundaries (if any)
  • Source code
  • Test cases and program output on the test cases
  • Instruction to compile and run your code and test cases, makefiles Be specific: say gcc -o hw1 main.c instead of "compiled with gcc"
• Print the design document and any other notes that you would like to submit. Hand in this document in class on the due date if you would like to receive feedback on your paper.
• For your own protection, make sure that your code compiles on volatile.case.edu, as it will be graded on that machine.
• Create a compressed tar-ball. At the Unix prompt, run:

  $ tar cjvf lastname-firstnameinitial-homeworknumber.tar.bz2 lastname-firstnameinitial-homeworknumber

  Note: it is important to create a separate directory with your lastname-firstnameinitial-homeworknumber, or else, when the TA extracts the tar-ball, your files will be mixed with those of the other students in the class.
• Determine the TA to which to send your homework. For the purpose of submitting your homework, students are divided into 2 groups based on their last name:
  • Group 1: A-Mac
  • Group 2: Mar-Z
  The homework is submitted to a TA according to the following schedule:

  	Group 1: A- Mac	Group 2: Mar-Z
  Hw1, Hw3, Hw5, ...	Pavel	Remo
  Hw2, Hw4, Hw6, ...	Remo	Pavel

• Compose an email to submit your homework:
  • To: TA email, as per schedule above.
  • Subject: eecs337hw (the subject line is used to automatically filter your e-mail to an appropriate folder, and to avoid the classification of your e-mail as junk).
  • Attachments: lastname-firstnameinitial-homeworknumber.tar.bz2
  • Request return receipt
• For questions about the homework, please contact directly the TA accordingly to the schedule above.
• Late homeworks will not be accepted. You are supposed to back-up your files, and you can always use the Jennings lab. Additional information on:
  • Back-up and version control
  • Jennings lab:
    • All EECS 337 students have physical access to the lab via campus id.
    • Unix computer accounts can be created in a matter of minutes: send e-mail to help at eecs dot case dot edu. During office hours, the system administrator is almost always in his office on the 4th floor of Olin, and your account can be created in minutes.
• The final grade is affected by every homework, no assignment grade will be dropped.
• Do NOT submit rar files
