Question

1. You prepare a .txt file with about 5-10 student names. One name per line, e.g.: Grace Deng. Save it as you like, on a location you preferred (very important to know the location of this file.)

2. You prepare an EMPTY .txt file. Save it as you like, on a location you preferred (very important to know the location of this file.)

3. Revise the userfile.py (Page 157) to to generate some kind of student email address at WIU, let's see it should be: y-deng@wiu.edu, by using first letter of first name and last name (no more than 7 letters long).

So this userfile_v2.py you created can do the batch user email address process.

4. What to submit?

a .txt file with about 5-10 student names;

a .txt file with about 5-10 student email address;

a revised userfile_v2.py copy/pasted on .txt file.

(so you will have 3 .txt file attached separately.)
