Short assignments are generally assigned one week before they are due. Projects There will be one midterm and one final project. These are usually in the form of computer animations composed with POV-RAY, though you are free to use other computer graphics software for these projects. Alternative projects, such as term papers, may be done instead, depending on the proposal. These projects may require a proposal and an in-class presentation of interim progress, and a portion of the final grade may depend on a timely completion of both.
Final projects are due at that time.
There will be no other final exam. I understand that students will have varying backgrounds and abilities in computer programming, art, and music, and these will also be taken into account. A major part of this class will consist of presentations by students. These presentations must be more than a simple recited equivalent of a term paper. They should include interactive components, clear points, and visual aids.
