NOTE: If the course is for grad students as well, you may name the course folder MSE 480+780 where 480 is the undergrad course number and 780 is the graduate course number.
- Create folders inside the course folder named Final, Midterm, Quiz, Homework, or Assignments, as needed.
- Copy your PDF files into the appropriate subfolders created in step 2.
- Rename all PDF files to the format: YYYY-SEASON-ORIGINAL_FILENAME.pdf where "SEASON" is Spring, Summer, or Fall. Keep the original Canvas filename if applicable.
NOTE: The folder structure and names (Capitalization, spacing, dashes, and keywords shown above) are crucial. Please match the format of existing files.

99.9% of the time you wont have to do anything once you click the green merge button on the pull request in the github webgui. msess.ca's exam bank will automatically show the new exam after some time has passed. However, if you do not see a commit on the msess/msess.github.io repository after merging a pull request (and you have waited), you may have to start manually updating the exam bank. Here are the instructions on how to manually update msess.ca's exam bank to the current commit.
Once the new exam has been added to the MSESS/exams repository (the pull request has been accepted), you must tell the msess/msess.github.io (our website's repository) to regenerate and load the new exam.
git clone https://github.com/msess/msess.github.io.gitcd msess.github.iogit submodule update --init --recursivegit submodule update --recursive --remotegit add examsgit commit -m "updated exam bank"git push origin master
remember to use git status often and google your errors.
