Autolab
Details on Autolab, which will be used for all homework submissions in CSE 4/545.
The main link
We will be using the UB CSE extension to Autolab for submission and grading of CSE 4/545 homeworks. You can access Autolab via https://autograder.cse.buffalo.edu/ .
Signing up
Follow these steps to setup an account on Autolab (unless you already have one in which case you'll use your existing account):
- Go to this page and click on the Sign in with MyUB link . A new account will automatically be created for you.
- By default, Autolab will use your official UB first and last name. If you have a different preferred name, please let us know ASAP.
- When you login, the system will ask you to put in your nickname. It seems like to use the system you have to put in a nickname (though it won't be used for anything in this course).
- After you have done the above steps, you wait.
What happens next
Here are the steps that we need to take at our end:
- We will upload a list of UB emails of students registered in the course (students cannot register themselves in a course). After that, you can just login into Autolab using MyUB and you should see the CSE 4/545 course.
In the steady state
Here are the various things to keep in mind once you are successfully added to the course on Autolab:
- Once you log in to the system (after creating your account), you will see all the courses for which you have
been registered. CSE 4/545 should appear with the description
CSE4/545: Coding Theory (s19)
. - Once you go to the course web page for CSE 4/545, you will see a list of pending assignments. To begin with you
should one box for
Proof Reading
one link for theFirst Submission
. (You will need to click on the link and submit your solution on the corresponding page.) As you move along in the semester, you will also see completed assignments/homeworks. - The interface is reasonably intuitive but make sure you explore and make yourself comfortable with the interface- you will be spending quality time with it this semester!
All submissions in PDF
Unless mentioned otherwise, all submissions must be in PDF. Unfortunately, Autolab will NOT give a warning if you submit in another format. E.g., it will accept Word documents but will not display them. If Autolab cannot display your submission, I cannot grade it.
