Prerequisite:

CMP 160 -- Computer Graphics, OpenGL, GUI or equivalent.

Grading Policies: 5 programming assignments (25%), final project (25%), and 2 exams (50% total). You need to pass all of the components in order to pass the course. There is no final exam.

Exams are weighted 40-60 in your favor. Programs are due at midnight. Programs turned in at least a full day early will earn 1% bonus credit. Late programs will be charged 1% late points. In addition, late programs will not be accepted 24 hours past due date. Late programs and reports will not be accepted for the final project. The bonus credits may be accumulated up to a total of 50% toward program and final project credits. Programs are graded roughly 80% for functionality and correctness and 20% for style, readability, documentation/writeup, and efficiency. Additional points may also be earned for extra features.

THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS OR PROGRAMS. THERE WILL BE NO INCOMPLETES GIVEN IN THE CLASS.

Attendance: It is your responsibility to know what is covered in class. Attendance/participation/effort is crucial in determining borderline cases at the end of the quarter. Bookmark and check the class website on a regular basis for announcements.

General Policies: All course work including homeworks, programs and exams are intended as individual effort and are graded as such. It is okay to discuss general approaches and algorithms with other students, but this should be done without writing, looking, or sharing code. Cheating or plagiarism in any form will not be tolerated. Punishment will match severity of offense. You are responsible for protecting your homework solutions and programs from being copied by others. Refer to the official UCSC Policy on Academic Integrity for Undergraduate Students.
