The Week in 559: Week 1 Sept 7-11

by Mike Gleicher on September 5, 2015

Our first real week! And it’s a little short because of the holiday Monday.

Last week, we had a first lecture with some preliminaries (what is graphics, how does the class work). Hopefully, we’ve worked out most of the administrative issues and everyone is enrolled.

This week…

We’re diving right in! There’s a reading assignment and a programming assignment – get used to it, we’ll have them every week that isn’t a holiday or exam.

The reading assignment is Reading 1:Starting. There’s a bunch to read. If you have problems accessing the files on Canvas, it might be because your registration hasn’t made its way through the system yet. Reading assignments are usually due on Monday – but for this week, it’s due on Tuesday, September 8th (because of the holiday). Because some people might have registration issues that are preventing them from getting to Canvas, we will be lenient on the due date for doing the associated Quiz.

On Thursday, Programming 1:Canvas is due. Hopefully by then all of the registration issues with Canvas will be solved. This assignment doesn’t require much, but use it as an opportunity to get started learning about web programming. You can see how this assignment is going to build into bigger things by looking at the Programming Assignment Group that it is part of.
