Welcome to the first assignment for Computer Networks! This assignment is entirely on-line. There should be no need for anyone to print copies of the assignment sheet, and no need to hand paper copies of anything to the lecturer. Your task is simply to send an email message. However, it's not just any old email -- it has to meet certain requirements. These are:
multipart/mixed
" messages: a
plain text part (with a MIME-type of
"text/plain
") and an image attachment in any
one of GIF, JPEG or PNG formats, and whose MIME-type is correct for
the filetype.
.GIF
" extension then it will send an
"image/gif
" attachment automagically, but there
are no guarantees -- if in doubt, send a test message to yourself
or a friend (particularly one who uses a different email client)
before you use the package to submit your assignment.
then you can submit some other interesting image with your assignment. If it's not an image of you, then perhaps you should mention the fact. Also, don't make your image too large: no more than a few hundred pixels in each dimension should be fine.
This address exists only for the submission of assignments for this subject.cnsubmit@ironbark.bendigo.latrobe.edu.au
Your assignment will be marked both on whether you have succeeded in the tasks above, not on (for example) the quality of the image: in other words, we are interested in process, not product. If you do not submit your assignment correctly, as outlined above, you will automatically fail. There is no provision for "re-submits" -- the point of this assignment is for you to understand what your email software is doing. When you submit your assignment, you should get an auto-generated reply telling you that your submission has been received. If you do not, please email me. Please don't submit your assignment multiple times if you don't get an auto-reply message.
This assignment carries 5% of your mark for Computer Networks.
