Well, because some of the work will count towards your overall mark for CS1109.
You may discuss concepts from the lectures that you are having trouble with. Your friends may have found a way of explaining something that works better for you than the ways we explain things. But you cannot work together on the lab sheets, and you cannot share solutions or parts of solutions in any way.
Do not plagiarise the work of others.
Do not look at your friends' files; do not type their work into your files; do not ask them to send you their files; do not cut-and-paste solutions from their files or from the web; etc. etc.
In no way, shape or form should you submit work as if it were your own when some or all of it is not.
Be warned that I think that plagiarism is contemptible and I will apply the maximum penalties both to the person who submits the plagiarised work and to any person who helped them.
In your public_html folder create a new folder called cs1109
(no spaces, all in lowercase!!!!!!).
(If you are a Repeat Student, please delete or move any CS1109 lab work that you did previously so
that it is no longer in your public_html/cs1109 folder.)
Inside this new folder, create another new folder called lab1
(no spaces, all in lowercase!!!!!!).
Now take copies of these three files and store them in your lab1 folder:
You are doing some work for the Irish Cheese Board. Their Public Relations office
has created a Microsoft-Word document (icb.doc) which contains
some press releases. They want you to turn this document into a Web page.
They want just one Web page in a file called icb.html (no spaces, all in lowercase!!!!!!):
icb.doc to icb.html,
to reduce the amount of typing.
Do not write a stylesheet. Hence, do not concern yourself with issues of layout or
other prettifying. But since it is easier to develop tables with borders than
without borders, you can link your Web page to your copy of icb.css, which contains
just enough CSS to prettify the tables for you. Do not edit icb.css.
Deadline: 1 pm, Tuesday 11th October 2011.
If you have followed the instructions correctly, your work will be collected automatically by a program at exactly 1 pm next Tuesday. The program will send you an email, listing the files that it has collected from you. Read the list carefully to make sure it has collected what you expected.
If you have not followed the instructions (e.g. if you have not named your folders and files correctly), nothing will be collected, and you will score zero.
Do not email me to ask whether I will accept a late submission, even one that is late by as little as 1 minute. The answer will be: No.
However, if there is good reason why the work has not been finished (e.g. illness, family problems, etc.), then you should provide the Department with documentary evidence (e.g. a doctor's letter), you should speak to me, and I may make special arrangements for you.
Since this is your first submission, we will do a trial run. In other words, we will run the program to collect your work some time on Friday. I will send an email when it happens. This will give you a chance to see whether you are doing things correctly and it will give us a chance to check that the program functions correctly. Obviously, you can continue to improve your work between Friday and next Tuesday, since it is the version we collect next Tuesday that will be your 'official' submission. (This will be the one and only lab for which there is a trial run.)
