How To: Submit Labs ©
R. Craig Collins, 2005
Typically, you will need to
zip the file(s) to be submitted, rename
the zip to yourname-labx or yourname-labx.zip (see note below
on extensions*), and submit the file
*Your computer may hide extensions, and differentiate file types only with
icons; if so, just ignore this part of the instruction
for Labs that require files to be electronically submitted
• zip the required
file(s) and/or folder(s)
• rename the
zipped file to reflect your name and the lab being turned in
•Example: yourname-lab1 or yourname-lab1.zip
(if your extensions are visible)
