Instructor: Matt Evett ; Dept. Computer Science; room 512E Pray-Harrold
Tel: 734-487-1227; e-mail: mevett@emich.edu; http://emunix.emich.edu/~evett

Office Hours: Hours are here.
I try to maintain an "open door policy": you are welcome to drop by at times other than office hours, and generally I'll be able to talk to you, but sometimes I may be too busy.

Syllabus

Make sure you register for the Blackboard site for this course at webct2.emich.edu.

Text Book (source code, etc.)

We're using Dann, Cooper and Pausch's Learning to Program with Alice, 2e , (Prentice Hall, 2008). There will also be a course pack that includes a number of readings covering a variety of topics in computer game graphics.

Assignments (subject to change!!)

Caveat Emptor: Assignments should be completed by each student on their own. It is expressly forbidden for students to collaborate without the express permission of the instructor. A few friendly pointers and a bit of advice is fine, but "borrowing" or copying another's work is grounds for punitive action, including a failing grade and possible expulsion from the University. In general, do not find yourself in a situation in which you have given a copy of your work to someone, or you have been given someone else's work.

Answers to assignments:

None yet!
