Students can also use the Eclipse development environment if they prefer but the logistics are somewhat simpler using Dr. Java.

In order to solve a problem set, create a folder named with your surname followed by the problem set number. For example, I would use a folder named Muller1 for problem set 1. All of the java source files for your program together with any required data files should be housed in that folder. No other files should be contained in the submitted folder. In particular, the submitted folder should not contain any .class files.

When your program is complete and you are ready to submit it, control-click on the folder and you will see an option to Compress the folder. This will create a zip file that you can upload to the appropriate folder on the course blackboard/vista website.

When the staff attempts to grade your problem set, if they find that it has been submitted incorrectly, they will notify you via email and you may resubmit the problem set with no less than a 25% penalty. For example, if the problem set was submitted on time but incorrectly, it would be docked 25%. If it were submitted incorrectly and one day late, it would be docked 50% and so on. This is a hard and fast policy that we will vary from only in the case of documented medical problems.

Unless specified otherwise, problem sets must be submitted for grading by 12PM (i.e., noon) on the specified due date. Extensions for problem set deadlines are granted only for documented medical problems or other family emergencies. See the Grading page for a description of the late policy.
