EGR 103/Uploading Solutions

For lab assignments in EGR 103 for Fall 2022, you will be uploading a PDF of your final lab report. You will also be uploading the scripts and images you created for lab to a separate folder. The instructions below are for Lab 1; for other labs, change the number of the lab as needed.

Make sure your lab report is correct!

Go through each page! For Lab 1, page 1 has relatively few changes, and pages 4-7 have none, but check pages 2 and 3 closely keeping in mind that minor spacing issues are not an issue but font shapes and sizes are. Make sure things in italics are and thing not in italics aren't and that kind of thing.

Download the PDF

When you are ready to move your finished product from Overleaf to Sakai, you will want to download the PDF by clicking the download icon to the right of the Recompile button. The name of the PDF will be the same as the name of the project - that is fine. Note that you can also click the "Menu" button at top left of the Overleaf screen and "PDF" is an option there. Once downloaded, move or copy the file to your Lab01Files folder for that week.

Upload the PDF

Open a browser tab and 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. After clicking to accept the Community Standard, scroll down to the Attachments part and the Choose File. You will need to navigate to your Lab01Files folder on Box and select your PDF.

Upload the Files

For the files, you are going to put them in a Drop Box on Sakai. On the left side of the Sakai page, click "Drop Box." In the main panel, you should see your name with an "Actions" menu - click that menu, select "Upload Files." Drag the Lab01Files folder into the web browser in the box with the "Drop files to upload, or click here to browse" message; that message will be replaced with the names of the files you are about to upload. Click "Continue" to upload everything.

Note that this version will preserve the file structure! If you click on the "Drop files to upload, or click here to browse" and try to browse, you will not be able to upload folders.

Submitting a New Version

If you need to submit a different version of your documents (perhaps you updated some code, 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 PDF or your files:

• Make sure the file you want to upload exists and is available to you on your computer.
• To replace the PDF:
  • Start a browser, go to Sakai, login, 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.
  • In the Assignment list, click the assignment again to make sure the files are what they should be.
• To replace a file:
  • Start a browser, go to Sakai, login, pick the class, pick the Drop Box and open the folder for this lab
  • Find the file you want to replace and click its Actions button.
  • Choose "Upload New Version" and, on the page that comes up, "Browse..." to find the new file.
  • Click "Upload New Version Now."
