What is ‘handin’ and how do I use it to submit my assignment?

‘handin’ is a utility for turning in assignments to a course directory (/home/’course#’/handin/’Assignment’/username). Once turned in, the course professor/instructor or TAs can access the files, but neither you nor other students can see them. Running ‘handin’ will replace same-named files with each successive run. The online webhandin https://webhandin.eng.utah.edu/ form has been discontinued, and is no longer accessible.

Handin is accessed via the command line on the Linux machines. Once a file has been submitted it will be received with the same name. Submitted files can be overwritten by resubmitting, but not retracted. — Check your assignment instructions/handout for the [Assignment] to use when submitting.

Command/Examples:

handin [class#] [Assignment] [/path/to/local-file]

$ handin CS0000 Assign01 ~/Documents/myAssignment.txt
