Procedure for submitting solutions to assignments on line.

You will use Blackboard for all your on-line submissions. After you have prepared a solution and are ready to submit it, here is what you do:

• After logging into your section of this course, you will see something like this (We will use Section 1 as an example)

• Click on Submissions in the menu at the left of the Blackboard page. You will then see something like this (We will use HW 1 as an example):

  

 Click on >> View/Complete Assignment: HW1

• You will see something like this:

• You must enter something in the comments box.  If you do not need to include any special notes, simply enter your name. (You do not have to worry about the format of your name.)
•  Now click Browse, and a Window will pop-up showing you directories on your computer.
• Find the file on your computer that you wish to submit. Highlight it and click Open.
• If your solution comprises multiple files, then, click Add Another File and repeat the procedure by clicking again on Browse, highlighting the next file and clicking Open. Repeat this procedure for all the files you wish to submit.
• The names of the files that you have already “Opened” will be displayed to the right of and below the words "Currently Attached Files”. You may remove any of them by clicking the Remove button to the right of the file's name.
• When you have added all the files for your solution, you have a choice.
• BEFORE YOU HIT Submit NOTE: When you click Submit, then your submission will be complete and there is no going back! You cannot submit again! (We have complained bitterly to those who are in charge of this software with no results.)
• If you click Save, your submission will not be complete, but the files will be saved under this assignment for later submission. You can log out of Blackboard and log back into Blackboard at a later time. When you Click on
  >> View/Complete Assignment: HW1 again, you will see these same files waiting there for you to submit them. Thus Saving, as opposed to Submitting gives you a chance to review your work, change your solution, remove your previously added file(s) and add new ones. It does not, however, cause anything to be submitted.
• The time of submission is the time at which you click Submit, not the time that you click Save. So, in order to avoid losing points for a late submission, you must remember to click Submit before the deadline.
• Finally, an assignment will disappear from view 72 hours after the due time. Files that you have not submitted, will disappear, even if you have saved them!
