CS360 Procedure for Late Lab Submission
CS360 Homepage
This website covers procedures for submitting labs or homeworks after the deadline has passed. For regular submissions of labs and homeworks using subversion please read the Subversion Guide to Lab Submission.
If you find yourself having to hand in a lab late, it is imperative that you follow the procedures below precisely. Failure to do so may result in a lab score of zero in the worst case.
1. Report to the TA that you will be handing in the lab late. This is
best done before the deadline has passed, or immediately after, to
ensure that the TAs will not grade your unfinished lab from the
repository. Keep in mind that if that were to happen, and the TAs have
sent you a grade for a lab already, you cannot hand it in late any
longer, and have to accept the score for your unfinished work! Wait
for the TAs' confirmation email! If you do not receive it within 24
hours, let the TAs know, in class or via another email. We confirm each
and every email regarding lab submissions that we receive from you, so if
you do not receive an email from us in return, something went wrong!
The confirmation email we sent to you is your proof of submission, and it
is the only proof of submission that will be accepted in case of unexpected
problems of any kind.
2. Immediately after you submitted your final version of a late lab to the repository, you need to let us know what revision you want us to consider your submission (svn log https://web.eecs.utk.edu/courses/fall2011/cs360/svn/$USER will display a list of all your revisions, svn log --limit 1 https://web.eecs.utk.edu/courses/fall2011/cs360/svn/$USER/labX displays the last revision of labX). This is to ensure that we grade the correct version of your lab, and that we grade it when you feel it's ready to be graded. If you never let us know of your late submission, we will not check for it, and your lab will not be graded. Again, wait for the confirmation email!
More generally, if you hand in a lab after the deadline, it is your responsibility to communicate that fact to the TAs and make sure that everything is handled correctly. After the initial checkout of everyone's lab at midnight, there is no further automated checkout of late labs, i.e., we do not do anything unless you tell us that your lab is good and ready for grading.
Finally, when in doubt, ask your TA right away! We are here to help you!
