Guidelines for IT 236 Project Submissions

  1. Keep backup copies of all assignments.   If your assignment gets lost because the Course Online Project Submission System disk crashed (however unlikely), a backup copy will make things easier for you. The late penalty will not be waived if you lose an assignment.

  2. Projects must have standardized names.   Create your VB.Net project with this project name: <Project Name on COL><Your Last Name>. For example, if my last name is Smith and I submit project with the name Greeter on COL, the name of the VB.NET project should be GreeterSmith. Do not add extra characters in the zip file name and do not change the capitalization. Do not use the name of the professor, use your last name.

  3. Include a header with your name, the name of the course, and the submission date within each source code (.vb) file.

  4. Delete bin and obj folders before zipping. Delete the bin and obj folders files from the project before zipping to reduce the size of the zip file. When the grader compiles your project, the bin and obj folders are recreated. The COL Project Submission System only accepts one file per assignment, so do not try to submit source code files without zipping. Even if you email me a project for help, zip it first.

  5. Zipping a project in Windows XP. Right click on the GreeterSmith folder name in the Microsoft Explorer. Select "Send To Compressed (zipped) Folder". The zip file GreeterSmith.zip will be created.

  6. There is a maximum penalty of 10% for submissions that do not conform to the preceding specifications.

  7. Grading breakdown: 60% for functionality, 10% for well written, 10% for comments, 10% for indentation, 10% for property submitted.

  8. Submit assignments with the COL Assignment Submission System. Do not email them to the professor.
