Assignment submissions will be done through
the Fire
reporting system.
Note: Currently there is an issue with the system,
requiring you to add a security exception (just make sure not to give it your credit
card number or anything...)
The first thing you have to do is to register yourself for the submission system. Everyone has to do this, it's not once per group.
Go to the submission system and follow Click here to register as a student.
Enter a valid email address, and a mail will be sent to that address with a link for further registration. This step is only to avoid dummy registrations with phony email addresses. The email address you give will be your username.
Go to the link that you got in the mail. You will come to a page that will prompt you to enter your personal details.
Enter your details, and choose a password, then press Register. You will now be successfully registered with the system.
The second step is to create and join a group. Note: Everyone must join a group, even those of you who have gotten permission to do the assignment alone (then you will be a group of one).
Log in to the system (same link as above) and press the Join group button.
If you are the first person in your group to do this, click Create new group. A new group will be created for you, and you will be given a password (it will also be sent to your mail). Give this password to your lab partner, he or she will need it to join your group.
If your partner has created a group already, ask him or her for the group number and the password. Enter these in the fields under Join existing group and press Join group. You will be asked if you're sure, which you probably are.
Now both of you will have joined the group, and can start using the system for real.
Use the Fire system under Oracle Access to request your group account for the Oracle database. Just submit without any attached files, we shall generate an account for you. This information will be sent manually, so there could a a delay of a day or two before you get the account information, so please request your Oracle account directly after forming a group.
To submit a task, you have to
Log on to the submission system (it does not matter which one of you is submitting the solution, as long as both of you have joined the group).
Upload the files that make up your solution for the concerned task, the individual tasks will have details on what files are expected from you.
Press Submit to submit your solution. Do not forget this!
As soon as your submission has been reviewed (that means either accepted or rejected) you will receive a mail. You can possibly download comments to your solution: Therefore you have to log on to the submission system again and display the files called comment.
In the case of a rejected solution you will have to upload a corrected version and submit again.
The files in the Fire system may be deleted sometime after the end of the course, so you should keep a copy of your solutions for your own reference.
You must submit your group assignments by the corresponding submission deadline. After submission, your assignment will be graded and responded (for tasks 1-4). In the case your submission is rejected, you are allowed to refine your solution and re-submit it. Note on task 5: the task will not be corrected through the submission system, but you are required to submit before the submission deadline, after you have demonstrated your system to one of the teachers.
Deadlines are firm. Submission after 23:59 on the day of deadline will not be allowed by the submission system, then the assignment will be graded failed. If you for some reason cannot make the deadline, contact us before the deadline, and tell us what your reason is, together with a realistic proposal of a new personal deadline for you. You may then get an extension of the deadline.
