Directory: archives • Contains material used in previous terms (assignment submissions, web content, etc. ) • Can be interesting to see how things like marking scripts were done before, but knowledge transfer is more properly done via the Wiki: https: //www. cs. uwaterloo. ca/twiki/view/ISG/Web. Home

Directory: bin • Contains scripts/programs specific to this course • Any scripts located here should be available to you automatically because of the login program.

Directories: handin/marking • Depending on course structure, may contain assignment submissions and assignment autotesting suites, respectively.

Directory: u • Parent directory of the personalized directory created for you by the login script. Contains configuration and personal files of users of the course account. • Files specific to you belong here, instead of elsewhere on the account.

Web Site • public_html • Ensure list of course staff is up-todate at beginning of term • Update announcements and marks regularly • Set a good example by making websites that validate!

Cover Pages (Written Assignments) • Configuration file. coverrc • Command make. Cover • For each assignment, add list of questions and marks per question to. coverrc

Automarking: RST • Scripts for testing and printing use rst <assign> <suite> [<identifier>] where: • rst is /u/isg/bin/rst, • assign = subdirectory of marking • suite = name of directory holding scripts • identifier = name of this test run • Suite pt is used for public tests • Also see rsta and distrst

Automarking: Bitter. Suite • Testing framework used in some courses; abstracts away from mechanism of how tests are run so tutors can focus on designing tests instead of the details of maintaining scripts. • Typically run via RST

Automarking: print. Out • Not used in Mark. Us-based courses • print. Out <assign> <suite> <timestamp> <piles> <where> • piles = 'section' or number of piles, • where = -7 for lp 7_cs , -0 for don't actually print, -g for Graphics Services Xerox 470

Plagiarism detection: moss • run. Moss, moss_makereadable, and moss_getgroups • Used to get statistically matching results, eliminate any matches that don’t reach a certain threshold, and find clusters that may not be apparent in moss’s pairwise results.

Course announcements • announce utility • Posts to course website, RSS Feed, and newsgroup. • Should be used for all major information that needs to be pushed to all students.

Course Email • When in doubt, check with instructors/ISC first (or forward to them) • Carbon-copy replies so: • others know a reply has been sent • record is kept in case of problem https: //www. cs. uwaterloo. ca/twiki/view/ISG/Procmail. Setup
