For lab assignments in EGR 103 for Spring 2019, you will be uploading a PDF of your lab report to Sakai. Sometimes you will also be uploading other files (for instance, the lab1.tex for the first lab in addition to lab1.pdf). The process is detailed below relative to Lab 1.

Create a PDF

The easiest way to create a PDF is to convert your dvi file to a pdf file. Once you are sure your lab is what you want it to be, simply type

dvipdf lab1.dvi

in UNIX. It will create a lab1.pdf file for you that you can now upload.


Mount your CIFS Drive

Upload the File

Next you need to start a browser. Within the browser, go to sakai.duke.edu and log in. Go to the page for EGR 103 for this semester and then click on the Assignments button. Select the appropriate assignment. In the window that comes up, scroll down to the Attachments part and the Choose File. You will need to navigate to your lab directory on the CIFS drive.

Note: You are responsible for then clicking on the file that you uploaded to make sure everything that is supposed to be there is there. That includes all graphs and such in the PDF file. During the first couple labs, you will be given the opportunity to resubmit if we can conclusively determine that your lab was completed on time but simply uploaded wrong. After that, however, whatever you upload is what will be graded.

Submitting a New Version

If you need to submit a different version of your document (perhaps you updated it, or you uploaded the wrong kind of file) you can do that up until the submission deadline. The process for that is similar to uploading your file:

  • Make sure the file you want to upload exists and is available to you on your computer.
  • Start a browser, go to Sakai, log in, pick the class, pick the assignments list, pick the assignment.
  • In the list under Attachments, click the Remove link next to the version of the assignment you no longer wish to submit.
  • Choose the new file you would like to upload in its place.
  • Be sure to actually Resubmit the new work.
