Welcome to WebWork

WebWork is the website we'll be using to issue your grades and how you will be turning in any future assignment. It is crucial that you complete this part of the lab.

It is also crucial that you do not wait to the last minute to do this part of the lab. If something goes wrong, it could possibly be a problem that only someone with administrative access on WebWork can fix. Those kinds of problems are not good to have at 11:55PM on the night an assignment is due.

Outline:



Registering with WebWork


If you haven't taken a Computer Science class at Georgia Tech before (which is the case for 98.549% of you) then that probably means you need to register a new account with WebWork.

Go to the WebWork main page. You'll probably be asked to accept some sort of security certificate. When you're using WebWork, just say "yes" and "ok" to any odd prompts you get. We promise we aren't sending you viruses. After you get to the site, simply click on the Click here to register! link as shown below.

You'll be asked to agree to some long license thingy. Then you'll be asked to fill in your gt number, prism password and a password that you will use to access WebWork in the future. Please remember your password.

After you do all that fun stuff, then log in if you are not already logged in.

You should see something like this...

The only links we'll be concerned with are the ones labelled REMOVEDbmit Assignment, Retrieve REMOVEDbmissions, and View Grades.



REMOVEDbmiting an Assignment


You finished the first two parts of the lab, right? Good. Click on the REMOVEDbmit Assignment link on the left.

Now you'll be shown a form like the one pictured below.

Click on the browse button.

Now it's time to dig around your computer and find whereever it was you saved your homework. If you're not sure where it is, the folder you put JES in is a good place to start looking, or your Desktop, or My Documents. Click on the file you would like to submit and press Open. Then in Webwork, press Add. Uploaded Image: ww4.png


Your file that you picked should now be listed on the page like so.

Now repeat the process for your other file so that both your lab2.py and lab2.doc are on the list.

Now select which assignment it is you're turning in in the top drop-down box. This assignment should be labelled just as LAB 2. After you select that and you're sure your two files are listed, then press submit.

Then you'll get a nice confirmation saying that your homework went through and everything is right with the world. Don't always trust it. Sometimes it lies so we better double-check...



Retreiving an Assignment



This part is REQUIRED.

Click on the link that says Retrieve REMOVEDbmission. You will be prompted to select which assignment it is you want to retrieve. After choosing an assignment, you will start downloading a zip file. This zip file should contain both of your Lab 2 files that you submitted.

Note: All computers are different, so I can't exactly ensure this is how your computer will handle zips. However, on the OIT PC's (library/student center) zip files are handled by a program called WinZip.

Download the zip file to your desktop. Then right mouse click on it and you should see something like this...

*POOF*!


There are your files!

Now open them up and MAKE SURE those are the things you turned in. It may seem like a silly task, but WebWork has been known to corrupt files that have been turned in and sometimes you may have accidentally submitted the wrong file. If something doesn't look right, or if the download didn't finish correctly, or if WinZip complained about the file being corrupted, then you'll have to submit your assignment again. Whenever you make a new submission, ALL old submissions for that assignment are erased. This means that if you have to submit REMOVED than one file, and there was a problem with one file, or you forgot to submit one of the files, you must go back and resubmit ALL the files again.

If you do not have WinZip, WindowsXP has a friendly decompression utility for Zip files. If you need assistance with that, please contact a TA or try the steps shown above in the Library or Student Center.



Checking your Grades



Click on the link to the left that says "View Grades". This is where we'll be posting your grades for all your assignments.

Please keep an eye on this page every few days. TA's do make mistakes grading. If you believe your grade was in error, you must contact your TA. You only have 2 weeks from the time a grade is posted to dispute it. After the 2 weeks, your grade is final and will not be changed for any reason. Please keep up with your grades and let us know if you think something went horribly wrong that you'd like us to double-check.



Don't Forget...



Always remember to log out.

If something goes wrong or you are unable to submit an assignment or unable to register, or something of that nature, DO NOT WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE to contact a TA or professor. Something could be set up wrong on our side of WebWork and it could possibly take time to fix. Assignments are due at 7:00 PM and WebWork WILL STOP ACCEPTING submissions at midnight on the indicated due date. This 5 hour grace period is intended only for problems that may arise in submissions that you need time to fix. Things like your computer breaking and you needing to go to the library to submit your assignment or the electricity in your dorm/apartment goes out. This is not meant as the due date being at midnight. If you wait until midnight to submit your assignment and something goes wrong there is nothing you can do. You will get a 0 on the assignment. Also, TAs and the instructor will be unavailable for help on assignments past 7 PM so if you plan to do your assignment late, you will have to do it alone. You have been warned!
