Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Get the Provided File Into Your Work Directory
The provided lab02.pdf file is need to make its way into your local directory. There are a number of ways to do this (but you likely know how to do this… ask your TA for help if not). Remember that you may have to change the file permissions accordingly…
Step 2: Do the Assignment, then Turn in Your File Using Gradescope
If you partnered with someone (it’s OPTIONAL - and NO MORE THAN TWO people can work on one assignment together), record the email address they are using for the class at the top of the assignment. EACH person needs to submit their own assignment!
Your assignment file is a PDF with the questions and blank spaces for the answers. The easiest way to proceed is to (a) print the original PDF, (b) write your answers on the paper USING DARK INK (so it shows up in a scan), (c) scan your print outs into a NEW PDF file (you can still give it the same name), and finally, (d) upload/submit the NEW PDF file to Gradescope. It should go without saying that neatness counts: if your scan is unreadable or your handwriting is very bad, your assignment may not get graded (i.e. you’d get a zero score).
If you have software that allows you to directly edit a PDF file, you can use that instead of steps (a), (b), and (c) above. This is not usually software we have for students to use, so if you want to go this route, you may have to purchase this PDF-editing software yourself. Again, this is OPTIONAL. It’s perfectly fine to go the print-then-scan route described above.
Your final step will be to go to Gradescope, select the lab02 entry, and upload/submit your NEW PDF. Please call your submitted PDF file lab02.pdf.
