Physics 6730 Preliminary Check of the Assignment

If you like, you may do a crude preliminary check of your assignment before you submit (or resubmit) it. The checking usually consists of making sure the required file is there and, in the case of a programming exercise, whether your code will compile and run against some test data. Here is how.

1. Collect your submission files in one of your directories.
2. In that directory run (e.g. for assignment 2 exercises 1,2,3, and 4)

          check_my_assign.sh a02 ex1 ex2 ex3 ex4 > myreport
   

3. Look at the file myreport for results.

Please note these disclaimers and warnings:

• This script will look for required submission files in the current directory only.
• It does not look at any files you submitted, so you are still responsible for submitting them yourself.
• Only a preliminary check is done. So the score reported may be changed after further checking by the grader.
• While checking compilations, etc, this script may write compilation output files to your current directory. If you want to keep your own versions of these files, put them elsewhere before running this script. However, this script will not change the required submission files.
• You may rerun this script as often as you like.
