Fall Quarter 2000

Overview

As part of the course, each student will make a brief (five minute) technical presentation on some subject related to computer graphics. Some possible subjects are:

• A graphics rendering algorithm.
• A hardware component of a graphics system.
• A programming technique found useful in the lab.
• An interesting application of computer graphics.

This list is meant to stimulate ideas, not to limit the range of topics.

Guidelines

• Presentations will be scheduled at the beginning of the class period. Therefore, both presenters and other class members must be prompt.
• Presentations are limited to five minutes in duration. Presenters exceeding this limit risk being unceremoniously cut off. A short period for questions and comments from class members will be provided and is not included in the five minute limit. The duration of this period is at the instructor's discretion.
• The presenter should arrange for any necessary audio-visual equipment. The instructor will consult on this process if requested.
• Grading will be based on content, clarity, relation of topic to computer graphics, appropriate use of audio-visual equipment, ability to answer questions, and remaining within the time constraints.

Grading

The presentation will be evaluated for content and presentation quality.

Schedule

The schedule of presenters is as follows:
