Unless stated otherwise, all lab assignments are due before your next lab period.
Each student should have a courses directory. The
permissions on this courses directory have been specially
set so that only the individual student and faculty can access files
and directories within it. No other students can gain access to the
contents of the courses directory. Be careful not to
modify the permissions on this directory. If the permissions are too
restrictive, then faculty will not have access to the
contents of the directory, and will not be able to grade your
assignments. If the permissions are too lax, then other students
will have access to the contents of the directory. The
permissions should be set to
rwx for the owner,
r-x for the faculty group,
and --- for others.
A directory named 201 should be created within the
courses directory. A directory named
assignments should be created within the 201
directory.
Do not work directly with files within the
assignments directory. Instead, create a
separate working directory for each lab in the 201
directory. When the lab is finished, place copies of the
requried files in the assignments
directory. Any files placed in the
assignments directory may be considered "turned in"
whether complete or not.
It is important that all files and directories be named exactly as specified, including capitalization. If the names are incorrect, then your instructor may have difficulty finding and grading your assignments.
You can access your files using a web browser from any computer on campus. Enter a URL of the form <ftp://user@cs.colgate.edu>, where "user" is replaced with your login name. Also note that there is no "/" at the end of the URL. You should be prompted for your password.
If you own a computer, you can download and install the SPIM and LogiSim simulators so that you can work on your assignmens outside the lab.
