Helping Your TA or Instructor

On occasion you may be required to submit your work electronically (say, for a Maple quiz or exam). To send your assignment to your TA or instructor via email as a text (.txt) file, proceed as follows.

1. Make sure that at the very top of your Maple worksheet the following information appears in a text region (or as Maple comments).
   • Assignment Number and/or Title
   • Section #, Your Name, Student ID

2. Export your Maple worksheet as a text file (refer to Subsection 1.7).
3. Next, open pine and compose a message (c). In the header region, enter:
   • To: Your TA's or instructor's userid, as specified
   • Subject: Section #, Your Name, Student ID, Assignment

   For example:

   • To: inewton
   • Subject: Section 505, J. Doe, 987-65-4321, Quiz 2

4. In the message region, read in your text file by typing Control-R and then the file name. (Instead of typing the file name, you may alternatively type Control-T and then use the arrow keys to select from a file list. This eliminates typing errors!)
5. In the message region you'll see the text of your Maple session (except for graphics, which are stripped out). To send the message, type Control-X, then `y.'
