DESCRIPTION:
CS 752 is a 3-credit advanced graphics course with prerequisite CS 652. If you took CS 451 before and would like to take CS 752, you may talk to Dr. Chen to get his permission under certain restrictions. Topics are selected from shaders, visualization, modeling, rendering, animation, simulation, virtual reality, and current graphics software tools. Emphasis will be on software methods and current research topics. Students are encouraged to introduce interesting materials and new topics for class projects and discussions.
GRADING POLICY:
There are all together 100 points:
Your overall course score, S, will be the sum of these points.
Class participation is very important. Active participation will be rewarded with extra points toward your score S.
Each assignment late will result in a deduction of 1 points per day from the total.
If there is an accident or emergency and you let me know, I will consider it accordingly.
SYLLABUS: (tentative)
1. Introduction (a general overview)
1-2. Discussion of topics for project selection of the semester; students are encouraged to introduce interesting materials and topics for class projects and discussions

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
GMU is an Honor Code university; please see the University Catalog for a
full
description of the code and the honor committee process. The principle of academic
integrity is taken very seriously and violations are treated gravely. What does
academic
integrity mean in this course? Essentially this: when you are responsible for
a task, you
will perform that task. When you rely on someone else’s work in an aspect of
the
performance of that task, you will give full credit in the proper, accepted
form. Another
aspect of academic integrity is the free play of ideas. Vigorous discussion
and debate are
encouraged in this course, with the firm expectation that all aspects of the
class will be
conducted with civility and respect for differing ideas, perspectives, and traditions.
When
in doubt (of any kind) please ask for guidance and clarification.
