Instructions for submitting homework to Scorelator

Preparing your work for submission

• Check the code you've written for each problem. Make sure all output will be written to the appropriate data file; if your script displays any output to screen, look for the lines generating such output and either comment them out (by putting % at the beginning of the line) if they are not essential to the program, or put a semicolon afterwards to suppress any display of output.
• Combine all the scripts you have written for the homework assignment into a single "master" file; that is, your solutions to all of the problems should be contained in one file only.
• Any functions you wrote which are called in the master script should stay as separate M-files, but collect them together in the same folder because they will need to be uploaded too.

Submitting your work

• Log in to Scorelator.com with your brown.edu email address and the password that was sent to you. (Your password can be changed by clicking on "Edit Profile" at the top of the main page.)
• Click on "Submit Assignment" in the menu on the left-hand side of the page, and in "Step 1 - Select an assignment" click on the homework set for which you want to submit solutions. On the right you can see the due date (given in Pacific time, 3 hours behind Eastern time) and the attempt number (e.g. 3/5).
• In "Step 2 - Upload solution files", click on "Browse". In the window that pops up, navigate to the relevant folder and select the master m-file that contains all your solutions for the homework set. Click on "Open" in the pop-up window and then "Upload" on the Scorelator page (next to the "Browse" button). Wait until the file name appears in the panel below. Use the same Browse > Open > Upload procedure to upload any function m-files that are called in the master script.
• Once all the files needed to run your homework script have been uploaded, click on the master file to select it; you should see its name appear after "Main File:".
• Double-check that all the necessary files have been uploaded and that the correct one has been selected as "Main File". (Note that you do not upload any of the .dat files that are generated by your code.) Then click on "Submit Assignment".
• After a few seconds to a few minutes (depending on how busy the server is), a message with subject "Scorelator Evaluation" should be delivered to your Scorelator mailbox as well as your brown.edu address. To check your Scorelator mailbox, just click on "My Messages" in the menu on the left-hand side of the page.
