Course Evals

by Mike Gleicher on December 12, 2015

If you haven’t already done so (and this means most of you) please do a course eval online at: https://aefis.wisc.edu As you will notice there are only questions for the “primary” course instructor. Unfortunately, we will not be able to fix this with the online system (it is quite rigid, and no changes can happen […]

Grading

by Mike Gleicher on December 12, 2015

We realize that we haven’t been giving people lots of timely feedback this semester. We apologize. We’ve tried to make this up with leniency (accepting late assignments, and being understanding that you might not realize that things aren’t the way the should be). Here is what is going to happen with grading – note that […]

Course Evals Online

by Mike Gleicher on December 10, 2015

This class will do course evals online. Please do an evaluation for this class. Even if you don’t come to lecture regularly (it’s a chance to tell us why).

Programming Assignment 14: Image Processing

by Mike Gleicher on December 6, 2015

The goal of this assignment is to give you some experience processing images yourself. We’ll provide you with code that will load an image into the web browser, and call your functions to change the image when a button is pressed, and show the results. You don’t have to use our framework code, but it […]

The week in 559: Week 15 (Dec 7-11)

by Mike Gleicher on December 4, 2015

We’re getting to the end… so much graphics, so little time. Last week, you learned about ray tracing. If you haven’t done the reading, now is a time to catch up on it. There is also a quiz, and you have until when classes end to complete it. This week, we’ll learn about image-based graphics. […]

Reading 14: Image Processing (the last one!)

by Mike Gleicher on December 2, 2015

For our last reading, we’ll read about image processing. This is the topic of the last 3 lectures (Dec 8, 10 and 15) and the last programming assignment. We’ve finally gotten the lesson and will de-couple readings from the weekly quiz/assignments. There will be a quiz on Ray Tracing for 12/8 (details coming in a […]

Graphics Town (P10 and earlier) Hand-ins

by Mike Gleicher on December 1, 2015

We have started to grade P10 (and the graphics town project overall), but have run into some difficulties where people have not followed the instructions. Also many people have not turned in the assignment – so we wanted to warn you that this is your last chance. You must turn in P10 on (or before) […]

559 Assignment Schedule

by Mike Gleicher on December 1, 2015

We have been pretty lenient with allowing late assignments for class. However, as we get towards the end of the semester, we need to set some deadlines. Any assignment turned in more than a week late will be noted as “very late” – however, it is better to do things “very late” than not at […]
