What is CS155?

In CS155, we study the fundamental ideas behind 2D and 3D graphics systems. During the first part of the class you will implement a simplified version of the OpenGL library. During the second part of the course you will use the standard OpenGL library to construct complex 3D scenes. The last part of the class is devoted to individual/group projects.

Grades

Your grade will be based on weekly programming assignments, lab assignments, the final project, and class participation.
        Programming assignments         65%
        Lab assignments                  5%
        Final project                   25%
        Class Participation              5%
Programming assignments will be made on Monday and are due one week later at the start of class. You begin the semester with 5 one-day extensions that may be used to extend any programming assignment deadline. You earn an additional one-day extension each time you submit a programming assignment 24 hours (or more) before its due-time.
