All electronic submissions must be made using the upload interface at http://cs.umaine.edu/~chaw/u/. Electronic submissions in all other forms, such as email, pointers to Web locations, or physical media, will be discarded and receive no credit.
Uploaded files must be named following this template:
cos497-pr01-Lastname-Firstname-N.jar
The substrings pr01 and jar are replaced by others depending on the material being submitted, as specified by the assignment or in class, and N is an arbitrary 4-digit number, such as 4231. Multiple submissions, within reason, may be made by selecting different values of N. The last submission made before the deadline will be used.
If your upload is successful, you will be presented with a confirmation Web page similar to the following sample. You should record the reported MD5 checksum and timestamp in order to have a fallback just in case there are problems with the upload despite the success message. (See also below.)
If you do not see something very similar then your submission is unsuccessful.
If (and only if) there are unexpected problems and you are unable to submit your work as above, then you should simply save your file on your own computer (with some backups), compute its MD5 checksum using the md5sum utility on Unix-like systems (or other similar tools), and submit the file name, time stamp, and MD5 checksum (only, not the file itself) by email.
