It's not that bad, thankfully: you do submit into a dedicated username- allocated directory, so the files from everyone don't go all into one place. Barely anything's done with the submitted files anyway: I think they just run them through some software to make sure it's not a blatant copy&paste of anyone else's. The actual marking is done on your written report -- which (in addition to the electronic submission) has to contain printed listings of all your programs. Thanks again.
