CS 251 - Printing Assignment Cover Pages

Some courses (such as CS 251) require all written assignments to be submitted with a pre-printed standardized cover page, to assist with marking and returning the assignments. To print these cover pages, you should run the program ~isg/pub/bin/makeCover.

Some examples of usage:

Print cover page for CS 251 Assignment #1:

~isg/pub/bin/makeCover -p cs251 1

See list of available cover pages for CS 251:

~isg/pub/bin/makeCover -L cs251

Get help:

~isg/pub/bin/makeCover -h

(Hint: You may already have the directory ~isg/pub/bin/ in your $PATH - if so, you can save some typing, and simply write (e.g.) makeCover -p cs251 1.)

Please Note: Cover page printing will not be done using lab fees; these cover pages will be printed using your regular printer quota (the makeCover script just runs lpr automatically for you, if you specify -p).

Note further that this means that you must ensure that you always have at least $0.08 in your CAS account to avoid being unable to print a cover page.

Additionally, cover page printing can now be performed on the web. Log in to this site with your UWDir user ID and password to print cover pages from home.

Please e-mail the maintainer if you discover any problems.
