Retrieving Assignments

This short tutorial tackles retrieving submissions, including "How-To" and clarifies exactly what a submission retrieval is.

1) The first thing to do is to open a Webwork Session and click the "Retrieve Submission" link. It is located in the menubar on the left.



2) Next choose which assignment you would like to retrieve from the webwork system.



3) Click the "Begin Download" button, download the file and save it to where ever you would like.





After the file has downloaded, unzip it as you would any file from webwork.

After unzipping the files, it is absolutely imperative that you CLEAN COMPILE your retrieval to ensure what we received COMPILES.

Retrieving a submission is for YOUR BENEFIT. This assures that webwork (and in particular the grader) received EXACTLY what you wanted. Failure to complete this simple task can only hurt your grade.

RETRIEVING YOUR SUBMISSION DOES NOT ERASE OR REMOVE IT FROM WEBWORK, IT JUST GIVES YOU A COPY OF WHAT WEBWORK HAS
