Homework Information

Submitting homework

We will be using the UCSC submit system to hand in homeworks this quarter. To turn in an assignment, use the submit command as follows:

submit cmps111-em.w03 hw1 myhomework.txt

Substitute the actual assignment name for hw1—homeworks are hw1–hwn. Additionally, substitute the actual file you want to hand in for myhomework.txt.

To see which file(s) you've turned in for hw1 (again, substitute the actual assignment name for hw1), do:

peek cmps111-em.w03 hw1

You should only hand in a single file for each homework. Acceptable formats for homework are ASCII text and Adobe PDF (and no other formats). Any text documents must use Unix end-of-line characters, and must contain no lines longer than 75 characters. PDF may be generated from PostScript on the CATS system using ps2pdf. If you choose to do your homework in HTML or some other format, you can convert to PostScript by printing to a file.

You must put your name and email address at the top of each homework you turn in. Also, please make sure your file has the proper suffix (.txt for text files, or .pdf for PDF files).

Homework assignments

This is a list of homework assignments and solutions. The homework solutions are only available to those who have the password handed out in class. If you've forgotten (or never got) the password, you may get it from another student taking the class or from the professor or TA during office hours.

• Inside the ucsc.edu domain (on campus): unlimited access
• Off-campus (not within the ucsc.edu domain): you will need to supply your CATS account as the username and the 4 character password you can get by running the following command on unix.ic:
  /afs/cats/courses/cmps111-em/bin/getpassword studentID
  You need to run getpassword with your full (9 digit) student ID. This will print out a 4 character password that you can use to get access to restricted materials on the Web site, as well as retrieve your grades online. Note that neither your student ID nor your password is ever stored online. This procedure will work for all students in the class, including those who enrolled late.
