EGR 103/Uploading Solutions

For lab assignments in EGR 103 this semester, you will be uploading a PDF of your lab report to Sakai. 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.

Upload the File

Next you need to start a browser and uplad the file. To start a browser in Unix, type

firefox &

Within the browser, go to sakai.duke.edu and log in. Go to the pages for EGR.103L.001 or EGR.103L9.01 for this semester and then click on the Assignments button. Select the appropriate assignment and upload the PDF file.

Note: You are responsible for then clicking on the PDF file that you uploaded to make sure everything that is supposed to be there is there. That includes all graphs and such. 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.
