Submission using Web-CAT

Submission is through an entirely web-based submission system. You should have received an email indicating a password to a system called Web-CAT. This is the system that you will use to submit your assignments. At this point, everyone who is currently registered for the course has an account on Web-CAT. To log onto webcat, go to this page:

http://web-cat.cse.buffalo.edu:8180//Web-CAT/WebObjects/Web-CAT.woa

Then, type in the Username and Password that were sent to you in the email. You can change your password by selecting the MyProfile link. Strongly consider changing your password into something easy for you to remember as opposed to the randomly-generated passwords that the system provides.

If you have forgotten your password, you can ask for a new one. Your username is the same as your UBIT name.

You will see a set of assignments that are currently accepting submissions for our course on the first page after you log in. If you would like to submit, simply hover over the icons to the right of the assignment name and select the icon for uploading the submission. The icon looks like a piece of paper with a world next to it and an up arrow. Once you select this, you will be taken to an upload screen. Select the browse button and find the file you are interested in submitting. Select the file and then click Next. You will need to confirm your submission on the next screen by clicking Next again. You will see a results page indicating if your submission was successful.

You can submit as many times as you would like. We will only grade the last submission you make. You can use Web-CAT to view what submissions you have made to ensure you have sent the correct file.

ABSOLUTELY NO submissions will be accepted any other way than the way described on this webpage. No excuses are acceptable. Make sure you know how to submit well in advance of the deadline. You can practice submitting your work. Later submissions simply overwrite the previous submissions.
