Login to Gitlab, and go to your sysproj-1 repository.
Just under the sysproj-1 banner, you will see a link of clickable icons and text markers that read something like:
Add license | 1 Commit | 2 Branches | 0 Tags | ...
Click on 2 branches
A new page will show you Active branches, you will see master and graded. Click on graded.
In the new folder named graded, you will find graded.txt, which will contain the grade and some feedback.
You should also go back to the top directory of the graded branch and check your hello.asm and countdown.asm files, which may have additional comments in them.

Aug-31: We have a new classroom! We will meet tomorrow, Wednesday, Sep-01, at 11:00 am, in the Friedmann Room in the Keefe Campus Center. Yes, it's not your usual classroom, but it has been configured to be one, and it'll do the job for us. See you then!
Aug-30: Class is cancelled!
Our classroom, SCCE A131, has been double-booked: both COSC-171 and COSC-112 were scheduled into it. We are going to yield to COSC-112, so do not show up today. Instead, we will wait for Wednesday and, I hope, an assignment to another classroom. Watch this space (and your email) for information on that location.
Aug-09: Welcome to Computer Systems! There are a few key pieces of information that you should know before classes begin:
Our first class meeting will be on Monday, Aug-30 in SCCE A131, from 11:00 am to 11:50 am.
During this first lecture, we will spend some time discussing an overview of the class, but we will quickly dive into the beginning, detailed material, so it is critical that you are present from the very beginning.
Before our first class meeting, read the Course Information. This document covers the course topics, expectations, structure, grading, etc. You are expected to have reviewed this document thoroughly.
