Submitting Programs

All projects must be turned in before midnight on the due date given. You are responsible for ensuring that all files are turned in on time. When you are done with your project and are confident it is satisfactory, you should submit it electronically.

To submit a project, select the menu options Duke Tools : Submit. From the dialog window that appears, you should select the course you are taking and the project from the appropriate options menus. It is important that you submit for the correct course and assignment.

Next, find the project folder you want to submit by either typing into the text field or by selecting the Browse button. You may select files from as many projects as necessary.

In the submit window on the left, you should see only the files in this project, for example two .java files. Click on both of these to select them for submission. In the right side of the window the names of these two files should appear to indicate you have chosen to submit these files. You can click on the files again in the left pane to unselect them from your submission.

You should submit all relevant code (.java) files and a simple text file called README. In particular, you should not submit backup or binary (.class) files. You may submit an assignment as many times as necessary, but only the files included in the last submission will be graded. Thus, you should always submit all your project's source files -- even if they have not changed since a previous submission

To complete your submission, click the Submit button at the bottom of the window. You will be prompted to enter your Duke NetID and password. If everything worked correctly, you should see a message saying you have submitted this project successfully. If not, this indicates a problem outside of your control.  Please mail the course staff in this case, copying the error message you receive into the body of the mail message.

You can check the status of your submissions at any time by selecting the Submit History button under the Duke Tools menu. This should show you a list of the files you submitted and when you submitted them.
