OpenGL and Exercises - Shy Shalom (shoosh [dot] cg [at] gmail [dot] com)
Exam
The exam dates: 26/6/2009 (Moed aleph), 11/09/2009 (Moed bet)
The exam will consist of three parts
- Multiple choice questions (american)
- Definitions - explain concepts/algorithms that we've learned
- Questions about the exercises

My exams from last year: here and here
Final Grade Calculation
The final grade was calculated as follows (a bit different than what I explained in class):
grade = 0.4 * exam + 0.16 * ex1 + 0.22 * ex2 + 0.27 * ex3
- Note that even without bonuses the maximum grade is 105 (I added 5% to the exercises).
- All
students who are submitting exercise 3 late (reserve duty etc.) got 260
for now, the grade will be corrected once they submit the exercise and
we check it.
- The exam and its solution can be found here.
Course Overview
This is a fundamental course in computer graphics. We use the
term
'computer graphics' loosely, and include within it almost anything
which can be generated and displayed on a computer screen (or some
other display device). During the course we will cover as much of these
topics as possible:
- Image Processing
- Rendering
- Modeling
- 3D representations [1,
2,
3]
- Curves and parametric surfaces (see 3D representation)
- Animation
- Keyframe animation
- Particle systems
- Deformations
In addition we will learn go over some linear
algebra necessary for 3D graphics, and learn OpenGL, in which we
you will implement two or three exercises/projects.
Requirements
This course is very practical. During the course you will be
required to implement three practical projects, all of which are
mandatory. Additionaly there will be a final theoretical exam.
- The exercises will be prepared in pairs.
- You must submit all three exercises in order to get a grade in the course.
- The exercises will consist of 40%-60% of the final grade.
- A failed exercise will add 0 points to the final grade, you must pass the exercise in order for it be added to the calculations.
- Some of the exercises may have bonus assignments.
