Course

Description

 

Computer Graphics is one of the most exciting ‘application’ fields of Computer Science. This course is intended to introduce the basics of Computer Graphics, laying the foundation for more advanced graduate classes or industry work. This course will be conducted with an application perspective. Therefore students will be expected to implement several techniques learnt in the lectures.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Core/Elective

 

 

This course is an elective of both Computer Science and Computer Engineering undergraduate and graduate students.

 

 

 

 

 

Pre-requisites

 

Prereq Courses: CS 213 Data Structures and Algorithms, Math 221 Linear Algebra

Students are required to be proficient in C/C++, and familiar with basic concepts of Linear Algebra.

 

 

 

Goals

 
  1. Motivate the class about Computer Graphics.
  2. Introduce the basic theory and applications of Computer Graphics.
  3. Make students confident that they can write programs to solve Computer Graphics problems, through the use of several programming assignments and examples.

Lectures, Tutorials & Attendance Policy

 

There will be 20 sessions of 100 minutes each, one in-class mid-term and one final examination.

Out of a total of 200 lecture minutes each week, 50 minutes will be reserved for programming aspects of the course, which is consistent with the course being of 4 units.

 

There is no grade for attendance, and is not required. However, students missing lectures will find it very difficult to make up for the content covered, with the possible additional penalty of missing quizzes.

 

 

 

 

Grading

 

20%               Projects

10%               Assignments

10%               Quizzes (Will check reading coverage)

25%               Mid-term Exam

35%               Final Exam (Comprehensive)

 

 

 

 

Additional Details

 

Course website will serve as a primary tool for organization of additional reading material, web links and other information related to the course. http://suraj.lums.edu.pk/~cs352s02

 

Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated and will be referred to the Ethics Committee for appropriate action. The instructor will strongly recommend that the strictest possible action to be taken against the students involved in plagiarism. If an assignment is discussed among students, it is required that each students writes up the solution independently, and without looking at notes from the discussion. Downloading code segments from the internet and presenting them as your own constitutes a serious offense.

 

Late Submission Policy:

  • Programming Assignments are due BEFORE class.
  • Written Assignments are due at the BEGINNING of the class
  • 20 % reduction for late submission by 24 hrs can be availed twice in the course. No submission is acceptable after 24 hrs of deadline.
  • Under exceptional circumstances, the instructor should be informed for special consideration.
