CSE 20
Lab Assignments

All Lab Assignments in this class will be submited on Gradescope.  You can access Gradescope directly via the link, or through Canvas.  Complete the following steps to submit a Lab Assignment.
 All Lab Assignments come with a built in 12-hour grace period, so if a lab is due at 10:00pm say, then we will continue to accept submissions until 10:00 am the next morning.  If an assignment is extended, the the 12-hour grace period is still in force, i.e. the grace period moves with the extension.

If you have any problems with program submissions, consult one of the TAs or Course Tutors.  If after a lab is graded, you have questions or concerns about its score, discuss them with the Course Tutor who graded it during their office hours.  If after that conversation, you still have questions or concerns, you may bring them up during the Instructor's office hours.

UCSC Computer Accounts
Some lab and programming assignments may require you to use the UCSC Unix Timeshare, unix.ucsc.edu. The host unix.ucsc.edu provides a Linux command line environment and home directory access to multiple concurrent users.  All students with an active CruzID account can access this system using their CruzID-Blue password.  To log on to unix.ucsc.edu from your computing device, you must have an internet connection and install the appropriate software, as outlined below.

Terminal access for Windows users:  
Download the PuTTY client and run the program putty.exe.  Set Host Name to unix.ucsc.edu, Port Number to 22 and Connection Type to SSH.  Click Open and respond with your CruzID and Blue password.

Terminal access for Mac users:  
Open Terminal Server in your Utilities Folder.  In the terminal window type:  ssh  user@unix.ucsc.edu, where user is your CruzID, then respond with your Blue password.

Secure File Transfer for all users:

Set Host to unix.ucsc.edu, Username to your CruzID, Password to your Blue password and Port to 22, then click Quickconnect.  The left pane shows your local file system, and the right pane shows the remote file system on unix.ucsc.edu.
