1 point per day (max of 5 points, out of 10) will be deducted from late assignments.
You will be given a grade of 0 if an assignment is not turned in by the last day of classes.

The programming assignments should be submitted on the class Bb Learn page before 11:59 PM on the due date.

• Assignment 1 (Draw clipped lines) - Due April 17
  
• Assignment 2 (Sutherland-Hodgman polygon clipping) - Due May 1
  
• Assignment 3 (Draw clipped, filled polygons) - Due May 15
  
• Assignment 4 (Draw 3D lines) - Due May 29
  
• Assignment 5 (Z-buffer rendering) - Due June 9
  
• Extra Credit Assignment (Bezier curve drawing) - Due June 9
  

You must be the sole original author of all assignments and examination solutions in their entirety, unless the instructor explicitly instructs you otherwise in written directions on an assignment or exam. Collaborative work is a violation of academic honesty in this course. You are not to examine or use code belonging to someone else, nor may you let anyone else examine or copy your code.

Students found in violation of the Academic Honesty policy will receive an 'F' in the class. In the case of plagiarism, all parties involved will be equally penalized.

The description of the department's Academic Integrity Policy can be found here. If a student violates this policy, an Alleged Academic Misconduct Report will be filed with the college.

It is your responsibility to avoid violating the university's policy. If you are unclear as to what the policy means in a particular situation, ask the instructor for clarification before you hand anything in.

See the examples below for clarification of this policy.

Examples

• Using code provided in lecture: include comments that cite the source.
• Using code provided in the class textbook: include comments that cite the source.
• Code developed jointly with instructor or teaching assistants assigned to this course.
• Discussing algorithms or possible approaches to writing your program, WITHOUT discussing particulars of the code.
• Discussing how to resolve errors, WITHOUT discussing particulars of the code.

• You borrow a printed or electronic copy of a friend's assignment, and use it for "inspiration".
• You give a printed or electronic copy of your assignment to somebody else.
• You "find" a copy of somebody's program in the trash, on a lab machine, on their hard drive, etc., and use it for "inspiration".
• You pay a "tutor" who writes the assignment for you.
• You download code from the Web, and turn in some or all of it as your own assignment.
• You and a friend together write one assignment, then create separate modifications to be handed in.
• You and a friend write certain portions of the assignment individually, but collaborate on other portions of the assignment.

Your source code for all programming assignments will be run through a plagiarism detection system. This program uses compiler techniques, which are invariant of syntax and style. If you are sharing/borrowing code with other classmates (from this or previous years), you will get caught.

Each graduate student will read two technical papers selected from the SIGGRAPH Conference Proceedings and submit two Powerpoint presentations that describe/summarize the papers.
There should be at least 10 slides in each presentation.

If you are not on a drexel.edu computer you will have to access the papers through the Drexel Library by clicking on "ACM Digital Library" -> "Proceedings" -> "Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques Conference" -> "SIGGRAPH * `year' [Pp]apers".
This will get you to the SIGGRAPH papers from 2003 to 2011. For papers before 2003 your last click needs to be on "Proceedings of the ...".
For more recent papers go here and look under "SIGGRAPH".
Please no "Game Papers".

The deadlines for submitting the Powerpoint presentations are May 9 and June 2. The same policy as programming assignments applies for late presentations.
