The (a little too long) Guide for Submitting Your Projects


Zipping Your File

After you had finished your java code for the project, it's time to submit them. For ease of our grading, we want you to name your projects "Project1", "Project2", etc. You should submit your project as a zip file via Moodle. So the first step is zip your project up. Here is how:

  1. Right click anywhere in the Package Explore and select the Export... option.
  2. In the window that pops up, select General > Archive File and then push next.
  3. In the next window, select the project you want to export and, using the browse button, store it somewhere on your computer you can easily get to when attaching an email (give it the same name as project, and I suggest you save it as a zip file).


Now that you have a zip file of the project you want to submit. It is time to submit it. For ease of grading, you will use Moodle to submit your code. You should go to this site in another window or tab, and then follow the instructions below for submitting/deleting/updaing files using Moodle.


Uploading Files: Method # 1

  1. After you log in, you should be able to see a menu on the bottom left of the web page called My courses. The menu should have a list of courses you are currently taking. Click on 2014 f-mcs-178-003 under My Courses. This is the link for the lab Section of MCS-178, fall semester.

    Select a Section

  2. Find the project you are trying to submit to in the Weekly outline. For this example, project 1 for the Spring, 2014 semester can be found under the category of 16 February - 22 February and it should look like this:

    Select a Project

  3. After you click on the project, you should be able to see the project description. At the bottom, under Submission status you should be able to see a button that says "Add submission" along with some information regarding the submission and due date. Click on that button:

    Start Submitting

  4. Now under the project description you should be able to see a panel like this. Locate a file you want to submit on your computer and drag it to the panel (we demonstrate here with a python program called candy1.py. Of course for your projects, you will be submitting zip files):

    Drag File

  5. Now the file should be inside the panel, indicating that you have uploaded a file for submission.

  6. If you have more than one file to upload, you can repeat steps 4. The following screen is an example of having uploaded two files.

Uploading Files: Method # 2

  1. An alternative method for uploading your files is to click on the add symbol above the panel.
