Exercise Naming Convention and the Drop Box

To receive full credit for the exercises you do each week you need to properly name your files and correctly submit them electronically. The steps below outline how to successfully accomplish this:

  1. When you are completed with the week's exercise file(s), create a folder that is composed of your first initial, middle initial and last name somewhere on your computer. For example, my name is Ronald J. Glotzbach, so my folder would be rjglotzbach.
  2. Inside that folder, place a folder for each exercise being submitted for that week. For example, if I were submitting Exercise 1 for the first week, I would create a folder called exercise01 inside of rjglotzbach. On weeks where there are more than one exercise being submitted there may be multiple subfolders in "my name" folder. For example in week five, I would create a folder called rjglotzbach that would contain a folder called exercise05 and a folder called exercise06.
  3. Once you have created the exercise folder inside the name folder, insert the files you are submitting into it. The file(s) should be named as instructed by your lab instructor or in lecture. Thus, in week 1, I would place the exercise01.doc into the folder exercise01, which is inside rjglotzbach. The path would look like rjglotzbach/exercise01/exercise01.doc.
  4. Once I have my name folder, exercise folder and file(s) for the week's exercises that I want to submit, I copy the rjglotzbach folder to the specified location on the 'Classes on sotclass1' drive. This drive will likely be the G: drive (use the My Computer icon to find the classes network drive). See your lab instructor if you need help finding the drive
  5. Once you find the 'Classes on sotclass1' drive, access the cg/cg141 folder that is on it. In this folder you will find drop boxes for each class section. Find your section's folder and open it. Be careful that you access the correct section number! If you submit your files in the wrong drop box you will not receive credit for them!
  6. Once you find the right drop box, access it. Inside you will find folders respective to each exercise. You do not have read access to these folders, so you will not be able to open them. Click drag your name folder from your desktop or wherever you created it to the respective exercise folder in the proper drop box. Again this folder should contain the all of the exercises you are submitting for that week. Voila! You have properly named and electronically submitted your exercises.
  7. FTP
    1. It is your responsibility to ensure that your files are submitted correctly. FTP error is NOT an excuse for your assignments not getting submitted. By coming to lab and submitting your assignments in lab, you can then ask your TA if your assignment was successfully submitted. No exceptions or extensions will be given for these or similar types of errors.
