Turning in Assignments on Disk
Each disk you turn in should be labelled with the following information:
- [Your name]
- COMP 14-090
- Summer I 2000
- Assignment [number]
- Disk virus scanned on [date]
Your memo should include the names of all files included on the disk.
Those files named should be the ONLY files on the disk.
Disks that haven't been virus scanned will not be accepted!
If you don't know how to scan a disk for viruses ask one of the lab
assistants. If a COMP 14 LA is not available, one of the regular LA's staffed
by ATN should be able to help you.
You can use one disk for several assignments without multiple labels by
writing in the new information. For example, if you use one disk for
assignments 3, 5, and 7 that were due on 5/26, 5/31, and 6/5, then your
assigment and virus scanned info could look like:
- Assignment 3, 5, 7
- Disk virus scanned on 5/25, 5/30, 6/4
