Homework

Each homework will build on the previous assignment. These aren’t your typical “write answers to questions” type assignments, but rather are intended to be more hands-on. We will be adding to, modifying, or otherwise doing something to the VM environment to enable us to do something else. The first assignment will be to get the VM environment set up and configured. Subsequent assignments will build on this.

Submission

All work will be submitted via MarkDown documents within an internal gitlab repo. You will be using this repo for the rest of the term. This repo exists on the CECS intranet. You will need to add myself to this repo as Developer. Grades and feedback will be done via a merge request from.
