No results posted because all sites will be different.

How to Submit Your Work

Upload all of your digital project files to the ‘CS0134-Project-<username>’ Box folder. If you chose to do your site-map and wireframes on paper, turn them in to me at the start of class on November 29th. Please make sure that they are clearly labeled, stapled and have your name on them.

Note: When you want to upload a new version of one of your exercise files, click on the file in box and select “Upload New Version”.

I highly recommend that each time you work on this, that you upload your files to Box even if you are not done with the project. In this way, if something happens before the submission deadline that keeps you from uploading the finished project, there is still something to be graded.
