Physics 3730/6720 Homework Submission


We use the submit utility developed by the University of Utah School of Computing.

Type man submit for details. An executive summary:

submit p6720
lists the various assignment names and displays comments about each one (typically a comment about the due date).

submit p6720 a01
lists all the files that you have submitted for assignment a01. Note that the assignment name must match one of the assignments you see when you type submit p6720.

submit p6720 a01 file1 file2 file3
submits your files file1, file2 and file3 for the assignment a01. The file names should be exactly as requested in the assignment. You may submit files all at once or submit only some of them and the rest at a later time. If you submit the same file twice, the second version replaces the previous version. So be sure any replacements are complete. If you submit the wrong file, you can't delete it, but we will ignore it.

Note: For the daily lab exercises the name of the submitted file is the same as the name of the assignment, so you submit the first lab exercise using

submit p6720 lab01 lab01

Permissions and late submissions: When the due date has passed, the instructor closes the assignment, and no more submissions are permitted. You will get the message "not authorized" if you can't submit. Unfortunately, at this point this software also won't even let you list the files you submitted. If you have a good excuse for handing in a late assignment, the instructor may give you permission to submit it late. But you must then e-mail the instructor when it is ready to grade.

Caution: The assignments you submit are identified by the login name of the session in which you submit. If you change your login name or if you change the account from which you submit homework, please notify the instructor. Otherwise, you might not get credit for the work you submit.
