Submitting lab assignments
Lab assignments will be submitted via email. That document will be submitted as an attachment.
The submission sheets for the labs are available on the website as word documents.
Right click on the submission document and download to your computer.
Open the document in Word (in one window) while accessing the iSeries 400 in another window. Type or cut and paste your answers into the submission sheet.
Where printouts are requested, insert a single cell table. Change the tables font to Courier size 7 or 8.
Highlight the printout screen on the iSeries 400 and copy then paste it into the single cell table in your submission sheet.
Your submission sheet will then contain all the answers and printouts.
If you want you may make a second sheet for just the printouts in Word and then submit both the printout document and submission sheet. Make sure that each printout is labeled with the chapter and printout number. For example: for the 2nd printout in Chapter 3, the label would read "Printout 3-2".
Creating lab assignment for submission:
You will need to download the submission sheet for the lab you are working on. The submission sheet is a Word document.
Next you might want to have 2 to 3 windows open when working on the lab.
One window will have the submission sheet. This is where you will enter your answers to questions within the lab. Lab instructions are found in the textbook. You will need to follow the textbook instructions as the submission sheets do not contain the instructions.
Another window for a sessions on the off-campus iSeries 400 system.
The third window would be for Operations Navigator. Operations Navigator is used to view the printouts at home. You will use Operations Navigator for printing at home. You can also create a digital document containing the printouts. Insert the printouts into the submission sheet. Instructions will be provided below.
When you have completed the lab you should have 1 or 2 documents (no more). These documents need to be attached to an email for submission.
You can download an example of a lab printout in a digital form. This is a word document. To download the document to view right click on the link and 'Save Target as.." and enter location to save the file to view. Here is the sample lab document.

Students are expected to contact the instructor at least once per week. Contact can be one of the following: submit an assignment, send email to ask a questions, or send an email to say you are working.
If the student has questions you may either attend a class session or email the instructor. I will attempt to answer your questions and provide pointers. Please be as clear as possible when explaining your problems that needs assistance. This will make it easier for me to provide better support.
