AGK Lab Installation and Setup Instructions (by Jonathan McIntyre)

Submit Programming Assignments

You must submit your files as well as hard copy for the programming assignments.
To submit your programs on the network drive, map a drive using:
\\ITEFILES.NR.EDU\ITP134-M1
ID = ITP134M1
Password = ITP13

You must be on campus to upload your file to the LAN server.
Create a folder with your lastname under the current week assignment folder.
Upload only the .cpp file (Visual C++ code) to the server. I can regenerate the rest of the files needed to test your program.

Guidelines for Snow Days

If NRCC opens at 10am, then we will have class from 10-11am.
We will maintain the current reading schedule and assignment due date schedule as listed on the this page.
If we have a snow day when an assigment is due, then you will submit your assignment at the next class meeting. This means you may have more than one assignment to submit if we happen to miss class days for an entire week.
