How to Submit Your Work for Grading
To submit your .java files for grading:
1. Login to http://blackboard.stonybrook.edu and locate the course account for CSE 114.
2. Click on “Homework Assignments” in the left-hand menu and find the link for this homework assignment.
3. Click on the link for this homework assignment.
4. Click the “Browse My Computer” button and locate the first .java file you wish to submit. Do not submit
.class files, zip files, rar files, or any other kinds of file except for .java files.
5. Repeat step 4 for each .java file you wish to submit.
6. Click the “Submit” button to submit your work for grading.
Oops, I messed up and I need to resubmit a file!
When you submit files to Blackboard, the system assembles them into what’s called an “attempt”. If you need to
resubmit your homework, it is essential that you resubmit ALL files again so that Blackboard assembles them as
a single attempt. If you fail to do this, the files you uploaded earlier will not be included in the new “attempt” and
might not be graded properly.
Total points: 6 points for the java files and 6 points for MPL (graded separately in Blackboard).
