9) You should now see the following which means you have now successfully submitted your assignment to Moodle! You can do this as often as you like up to the assignment deadline. If you wish to overwrite a previous submission, see the following section.

1.2 Re-Submitting an Assignment: 1) Once a submission is completed just click on Edit these files to make any changes before the submission deadline.

2) You will now see your file. You can click on the wheel beside the filename to delete the old file and then upload a new file.

As a final note about submissions, no credit will be given for late assignments, so submit early and avoid last minute problems with the network, etc. If Moodle is down when your assignment is due, email your file to your Lab Instructor as a last-ditch measure. Filenames must be exactly as specified in the assignment. Case matters. A successful assignment submission is worth a certain number of points. The assignment will not be checked in the lab by the TA. The file will be extracted and marked by a TA after the due date.

2. Saving Your Work: It is very important that you save your work as the computers in the lab erase the hard drive each time the machine is rebooted. There are many ways to save your work.

2.1 Using Moodle to save your work 1) Click on Manage my private files under My Private Files on the right sidebar of your main Moodle page.

Saving your files in Moodle lets you access them from anywhere. Later on your home computer, you can log into Moodle, go to My private files and select your file. Then click on the wheel beside the filename and choose Download to download it to your machine.

NOTE: Uploading to Moodle is the BEST way to save your files because you can access them from any machine that has a web browser.

2.2 Use a Flash Memory Stick As an alternative, you can save your project to a flash memory stick. However, clearly label your flash memory stick with your name and phone number as these tend to get left behind. This method is not as secure as using Moodle as people tend to lose memory sticks fairly often. This is how you will save your work from session to session. Anything you leave on the local machine will disappear by the next day. Delete your files on the local machine before you leave the lab. Rebooting the machine will effectively clear all your work.

3. Assignment Header Here is an example header for you to use in your .m files. Failure to put this header at the top of your .m files results in a 1 point deduction. Please use a header for every assignment in this course and complete it using your information. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Course: ENCMP 100 Fall Term 2011 % Assignment: 1 % Lab Section: A2 % Name: Joe MacDonald % CCID: jmac % Date: September 19, 2011 % Acknowledgements: I received help from Jason Smith on matrix % multiplication. % % File: matrix.m % Description: % This program will show some basic matrix manipulations %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
