Topics in IT "Advanced Graphics" (230.420) 6 points / Semester 2 Handbook Description The official handbook entries for Science and Engineering, Computing and Mathematics. Prerequisites: Knowledge of data structures and C or C++ programming required Teaching Staff Coordinator/Lecturer Dr Karen Haines Help mail alias help420@cs.uwa.edu.au Help Web page www.cs.uwa.edu.au/cgi-bin/help420 Textbook Ed Angel, Interactive Computer Graphics: A Top-Down Approach with OpenGL, 3rd Edition, Addison-Wesley, 2003 . Contact Hours For this unit you will be required to attend, on a weekly basis, 1 lecture and one two hour laboratory. To satisfactorily complete this unit you are expected to work out-of-hours and an additional hour per hour of formal contact would be a reasonable estimate. The formal laboratories and tutorials for this unit will begin in week two of the semester. Type Time Day Location Laboratories 10:00 am - 12:00 noon Tue CS&SE 2.7 Lectures 10:00 am - 10:50am Thu UWA-IVEC Access Grid Room, 1st Floor Motorola Bldg Consultation By appointment Lecture Details The lectures will cover the following broad topics nd material will be supported through worked laboratory based assignments. Topics will include Graphics Systems and Models Graphics Programming Input and Interaction Geometric Objects and Transformations Viewing Shading Discrete Techniques Assessment The assessment for this course is Homework assignments, web page, and Lab Projects (50%) One large final project (50%) Project content (20%) Conference style paper on project (20%) Project Presentation and demonstration(10%) Unsatisfactory Progress Any student who does not demonstrate satisfactory progress in this unit, as defined in the FECM Policy on Assessment Practices and Procedures, may be refused admission to the final examinations. The final deadline for notification of unsatisfactory progress is the last day of Week 10. Penalties The School of Computer Science and Software Engineering has adopted a policy on minimum penalties for late items of assessment. This is the default policy of all units unless indicated otherwise, in writing, by the specific unit coordinator. This policy shall apply to all items of continuous assessment, whether submitted either physically or electronically. Immediately after the submission deadline for an item of continuous assessment, a penalty of 20 percent will be applied PER DAY or PART THEREOF. The minimum mark possible for late submission is zero. The percentage is based on the item´s total contribution to the unit´s assessment. For example, a project contributing 40% to the unit´s assessment will incur a penalty of 8 marks for each day late until it is submitted or a mark of zero results. A more detailed description is given in this School´s Policy on Late Submission. The Faculty does have an appeals procedure, the details of which can found at the Policy for Appeals. Plagiarism Plagiarism is broadly defined to be when any portion of the work presented for assessment, can be attributed to another party. The student making the submission should acknowledge what aspects of the presented work is not directly derived by them. For the purposes of plagiarism it is irrelevant that you have been given permission by someone to copy their work and present it as your own. You are directed to the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering Policy on Plagiarism and the Faculty of Engineering,Computing and Mathematics Policy on Plagiarism. Faculty Scaling Final assessment is subject to the Faculty Scaling Policy.     home > undergraduate > Topics in IT "Advanced Graphics"  > Topics in IT "Advanced Graphics" Homepage    This information is correct as at 20-Jul-2005, but is subject to change from time to time.
