How to Register with a Partner on the Autograder

Overview

These steps are written for Project 4 in Fall 2024. Replace the project number and semester with the one that applies to you!

If you choose to work with a partner in ENGR 101, you’ll need to register with them on the Autograder. We may provide you with a deadline by which you need to complete that registration. These deadlines ensure that partners work on their projects together from start to finish, rather than partnering up at the last-minute and likely not getting as good of a learning experience – or as good of a grade!

Partnerships must be registered for every new project in ENGR 101. This gives you flexibility to change up whether you work with yourself, a partner, or a different partner from one project to another. For any project that you choose to work with a partner on, you’ll need to complete these steps.

Partnership Registration Procedure

Step 1

One person in your partnership should navigate to (the Autograder)[https://autograder.io] and select the course you are enrolled in:

Step 2

Select the project that you would like to register with a partner on. (You will most likely have fewer projects on this list than we do!). Note that you will only be registering your partnership for the project you click on, NOT for the whole semester. See the intro paragraphs for more on that.

Step 3

You’ll land on the Group Registration page. To invite your partner, click Send group invitation.

Step 4

In the Users to Invite box, type your partner’s umich email address and then click Send Invitation. (We only have groups of 2 in this class so you don’t need to worry about the “Add Member” feature).

A screen capture of the Autograder web page with a pop-up box labeled 'Send invitation'. There is an entry field below this labeled 'Users to invite:'. The box has been filled in with an example umich email address. Underneath the entry field is an option labeled 'Add Member'.

Step 5

You should see this page that confirms that your invitation was sent to your partner.

Step 6

Tell your partner that you sent them an invitation to be partners on the project. The Autograder does NOT notify your partner about this invitation, so *YOU need to do that!* The next few steps are intended for your partner to follow.

Step 7

Your partner should navigate to (the Autograder)[https://autograder.io] and select the course they are in:

Step 8

Your partner should select the project that you sent them an invitation for. (They will most likely have fewer projects on this list than we do!)

Step 9

Your partner should see this Group Registration page. If they do not, double check the umich email address that you sent the invitation to. If you’re sure that it’s right, then stop here, post your issue on Piazza, and/or come to office hours. We’ll get you sorted out there. But hopefully your partner sees this page. They should click Accept.

Step 10

The Autograder will ask your partner to confirm the acceptance. They should click Accept. </div>

Step 11

If both partners see this screen below, then you’ve successfully registered your partnership for this project on the autograder! If not, try refreshing your screens. If you STILL don’t see this screen, then post your issue on Piazza and/or come to office hours. We’ll get you sorted out there.
