Any LPL question with a saved solutions file is considered a Grade Grinder question. For these, we ask that you submit your homework electronically using the LPL Submit application, listing "Robert Plummer" as the professor and cs103a.submit@gmail.com as the professor's email. Note: Please do not use cs103a.submit@gmail.com for any purpose other than Grade Grinder submissions. We will be automating the collection of grade grinder reports from this account and will rarely, if ever, check it manually; any questions or written solutions sent to it will likely go unnoticed for long periods of time.
If you submit your answers to us multiple times, we will use the last submission for each problem.
To use the Grade Grinder, you must purchase a new textbook/software package. The software must be registered to a particular name and email, and once registered thus, cannot be changed. Therefore, if you borrow or purchase a used book, you cannot submit your solutions (or even check them) using Grade Grinder.
We strongly recommend that you use the Grade Grinder, but it is your choice. Doing so allows you to check your homework for correctness before submitting and to resubmit in the case of errors; thus, not using the Grade Grinder places you at a distinct disadvantage to your peers. Also, the Grade Grinder expedites the grading process, making our lives easier and allowing us to return your graded solutions to you sooner.
If you choose not to use Grade Grinder (or otherwise cannot), you will be required to submit your solutions in the same way as non-Grade Grinder solutions, as outlined below.
Paper copies of homework are due by the end of class on the due date.
