Getting Help
- Use the class discussion board. Chances are other people will have the same questions you do.
- For help on projects or written homeworks, talk to the TAs or the instructor during their office hours.
Prerequisites
- Data structures at the level of CSE 332
- Linear algebra (Math 308 recommended)
- Some mathematical sophistication
- No prior knowledge of graphics is assumed.
Grading
The breakdown is subject to change as a whole and adjustments on a per-student basis in exceptional cases. This is the general breakdown we’ll be using (not yet final for 23sp):
| Component | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Projects | 60% |
| Homeworks | 20% |
| Final Artifact | 15% |
| Participation (weekly questionnaires) | 5% |
Projects and homeworks will be done individually. There are no exams.
Final Artifact
There is a final artifact due at the end of the quarter. The artifact can be an animation or a game. The artifact will be done in groups. More info coming soon.
Turn-in and Late Policy
Written homework assignments and projects are due at 11:00pm on the specified due date. Late assignments are marked down at a rate of 25% per day (not per lecture), meaning that if you fail to turn in an assignment on time it is worth 75% for the first 24 hours after the deadline, 50% for the next 24 hours, 25% for the next 24 hours, and then it is worth nothing after that. Exceptions will be given only in extreme circumstances with prior instructor approval.
