Uploading homework [2/3]

After you have completed the assignment, save your work in IntelliJ IDEA and use drag-and-drop to upload the file to D2L. Note that in the images that follow, the file name is different. Your homework file for Week 1 is in the package algs11 and it is called MyFirstHomework.java.

The following diagrams illustrate how you will upload your homework files. Note: These diagrams are examples for the undergraduate version of this course, but they apply to both the undergraduate and graduate courses. When you look in D2L, you should be able to find the correct folder with no trouble.

submit-hw-1
submit-hw-2
submit-hw-3
submit-hw-4

If drag-and-drop does not work, you can use an alternative method and click Upload.

Be very careful to upload a .java file from the src directory.

Do not upload a .class file from the bin directory.

submit-hw-5

Make sure you see the file you uploaded under the Upload button, and then click Add.

submit-hw-6

Make sure you click Submit. D2L should send you an email confirming your submission.

How to talk about code via email or on Discord [3/3]

If you want advice about an error, send me email, doing one of the following.

If you have a problem getting a program to work and you want me to look at some of your code in more detail, send me email with the following three things.

  1. Your java file as an attachment.

  2. A description of how the output of the program is different from what you expected.

  3. The output of your program, if it runs.
