Handing in

So handin works, but there are a few temporary inconveniences. 1) You must type the full directory of the handin script: "/course/cs125/bin/cs125_handin" 2) Cygwin might not work. If so login to a linux computer (press "scroll lock" on a computer with a large monitor twice to get linux) and open a shell and submit from there the same way you would in cygwin (cd into the folder you want to submit and run the handin script). Hopefully this finds you only slightly frustrated and if you run into any trouble e-mail the ta's or come to hours.

Welcome to CS125 2008

In this course you will be introduced to the process of making a short computer animated film from beginning to end. It's super fun and usually a lot of work. To learn more about the course, click on Course Info. Also check out the new CS125 FAQs. We are still getting the website ready for the semester, so excuse any broken links, etc.

To take this course, you must attend the first meeting on Wednesday, September 3, 2008 at 1:20pm in CIT 367. If after the first class you want to take the course, you should fill out an application. Applications are sent via email to those students who attend the first class and are due the next morning. The class list will be available by Friday morning, Sept 5 and only those admitted will receive written permission to take the class. There are no fixed prerequisites for the class, but you must have some in-depth background in either computer graphics or in some aspect of visual art. If there are more than 20 qualified students, I select based on class seniority, experience, enthusiasm, and how this course fits in with your plans. Hope to see you at the first class! In the mean time, you can read about the course in the missive and syllabus.
