URGENT_Subjective Type Assignments

Namaste,

There is a change in the submission type of subjective assignment.

Previously, students need to upload the file from the drive, have to share
the file with some settings,there seems to be some difficulty from student
side though NPTEL team have given you a clear procedure for submitting the
assignment.

Now this has been made simpler by google team.

Student can add their file from their local machine without sharing it with
admin id, no need of google drive folder id too. They can just simply
browse the file from their local machine and upload the same.(screenshot
attached)

Please keep this in mind.

SD Team

Reg: Submission of Assignment 1 and 2

Namaste,

In spite of our instruction many of the students have not submitted their FILE ID on portal and have sent the mail or shared the google drive link through mail or discussion forum. It is very tedious for us to check and evaluate it. We need time to resolve this issue. We will notify updates as and when required.

People who have not submitted through the portal, cannot see their marks on the portal and hence we will publish the marks somewhere and put it on announcements.

We will evaluate both assignments this time, being the first time submission. BUT next time onwards we will evaluate only if it is submitted through the proper process.

If you don't submit through the portal, the scores will not appear in The Progress tab and NPTEL central team will not be considering the same for the final score - from next assignment onwards.

We hope that everything is clear to you. Please feel free to mail us if you still have any doubt in assignment submission process.

regards,
SD Team

Submission of assignmet

Update 2 (1/8/16)

So we are planning to reopen portal for submission of assignment 1.  Portal will be open until 3rd August 11pm IST.
Please not that we are NOT EXTENDING DUE date of ASSIGNMENT 2.

Re upload assignment 1 if:
1. You have not uploaded assignment on portal.
2. Those who have upload RAR or ZIP file, please re upload only as PDF file. 
3. Those who have uploaded image file. Sorry we can't check image one by one. Scan pages and make single PDF file.
4. We do not want to share the name but some of student have uploaded/shared the same file of friend. One friend has written assignment and other have uploaded same file. Student who are caught for this will be given direct zero. Those who are supplying and those who are copying.

Few quick instruction:
1. Upload only PDF file.
2. Share with course admin id i.e. noc16-ce08@nptel.iitm.ac.in with EDIT permission.
3. Step 2 followed by submitting of FILE ID on portal
Eg I have uploaded PDF file which has link as https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz4tdfa1yhyWa29JbHByRVRDRkE/view?usp=sharing
here file ID is: 0Bz4tdfa1yhyWa29JbHByRVRDRkE
4. Submit above FILE ID and on successful attempt you will get notification as
Submission Succeeded.

Future instruction:
1. All future assignments are of subjective in nature so instruction will remain same. 
2. Create SINGLE PDF file. Share and submit FILE ID on portal well in advance to avoid any last minute technical/non-technical issue.
3. No extension of due dead in future.
4. We will not entertain any file submitted via forum or send us as a mail. THIS IS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN from assignment 2 submission.
5. Avoid last minute upload since your local time zone and time zone of server of NPTEL (IIT-M) would be different. And portal close automatically. 
6. Understand process of uploading of assignment. 
https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc16_ce08/unit?unit=1&lesson=5

We hope this is helpful to all. If you have any specific query for any of the thing stated above please raise question on discussion forum we will be happy to answer you.

regards,
SD Team


Update 1 (1/8/16)

Namaste,

For assignment 1 many of you have shared link on discussion forum or have sent mail with attachment or google drive. Some of you have sent single single pages of solution.

The possible solution can be evaluate your assignment by the way they are in mail or in link, and update marks other than portal. Second solution is to open the portal for some specific time for re-uploading (which is good for long term perspective). 

We will get back to you with our take on this issue within a day.

BUT PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE GET USE TO WITH THIS TASK OF UPLOADING ASSIGNMENT. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG FROM SERVER OF NPTEL. YESTERDAY MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS HAVE SUBMITTED THE ASSIGNMENT, WHO ARE PART OF THIS COURSE AND JOINED LIKE YOU AS A FRESHER. SO IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO UPLOAD ASSIGNMENT MEANS YOU COULD NOT UNDERSTOOD THE PROCESS OF UPLOADING ASSIGNMENT GIVEN IN VIDEO.

WE REQUEST YOU TO GO THROUGH THE VIDEO AGAIN AND LEARN IT PROPERLY. IT IS BEYOND OUR SCOPE TO EVALUATE ASSIGNMENT AND UPDATE MARKS ON PORTAL IF YOU ARE NOT UPLOADING ASSIGNMENTS.
