File Upload Exercise

A file upload exercise asks you to hand in a file rather than to write something in Artemis: a scanned worksheet, a PDF report, a photograph of a diagram you drew on paper. You do the work wherever you like and upload the result.

Hand In Your File

Open the exercise from the course's exercise list once it is released, and Start exercise. The file chooser appears with Supported file extensions beside it — your file has to have one of those extensions or Artemis will refuse it.

Choose File, then Submit. Nothing is stored until you submit: picking a file on its own does not hand it in.

Before submitting

Once the file is in, the page names it and says when it arrived, and offers Download file — worth using, because it is the only way to confirm that the file Artemis has is the one you meant to send.

Your Result

There is nothing to run against a file, so no result appears immediately. A tutor downloads your file, reads it and writes feedback with points, and the result appears once the assessment is published — see Assessment for what a published result looks like.
