CS231 Instructions for Turning in Electronic Copies of Projects

Create a connection to the General Server

  1. See if there is an icon labeled General Server on your Macintosh's desktop. If there is, then you don't need to do this part.
  2. Move your mouse up to the "Apple" menu (in the upper lefthand corner), and press the mouse button to bring up the menu. If you happen to be in the Olin 323 lab, you can get the General Server directly from the menu choice at the bottom which says "General Server". Otherwise, proceed with the following steps.
  3. Select Chooser from the menu.
  4. Click on the AppleShare icon.
  5. Scroll the AppleTalk Zones menu until you find the entry for Info Tech Services MR. Click on this entry.
  6. In the window titled Select a file server, click on General Server.
  7. Click OK
  8. When a new "dialog" window pops up, click Guest and then click Connect.
  9. When another "dialog" window pops up, click General Server and then click OK.
  10. this should cause an icon to appear on your desktop, labeled General Server
  11. Close the Chooser window (by clicking in the square in the upper lefthand corner of the window).

Locate the CS231 Drop box folder

  1. Find the icon on your desktop labeled General Server (if the icon isn't there go to the instructions above)
  2. Double-click on the icon, to open it up.
  3. In the window that pops up, find the list item labeled Colby Course Materials, and double-click on it.
  4. In the window that pops up, find the list item labeled Computer Science, and double-click on it.
  5. In the window that pops up, find the list item labeled CS 231, and double-click on it.
  6. The window that pops up should include an item labeled Drop box

Turn in a copy of your project files

  1. After you have located the CS 231 Drop box folder, you can turn in your projects.
  2. Create a top-level folder whose name includes your name and the number of the project or lab (e.g., Randy Jones Project 2)
  3. Put your project inside that folder. If the project has multiple parts, create a sub-folder for each part of the lab (e.g., Project 2a, Project 2b, etc.).
  4. After you have filled up the contents of your Project folder, "turn in" the top-level folder (the one with your name on it) by "dragging" it into the drop box.
  5. This will pop up a message saying you won't be able to read the files after they have been copied in. That's what is supposed to happen, so click "OK".
  6. If you ever get confused or have problems, ask for help.
