CPSC 581: Schedule (Fall 2012)

This is an old schedule, but it should give the reader a sense of when components of the course are due.

The project life cycle

Each of the three projects spans approximately 7 classes (actual assigned dates may vary). The life cycle for each project is roughly defined below.

  • Class 1: Introduction / overview of the topic; assignment handed out
  • Class 2: Student show sketch to the class of their best idea; basic tutorial on technology
  • Class 3: More tutorials, students iterate sketch, begin implementation
  • Class 4: Advanced tutorials (if needed), in-class development; student show current state of their idea
  • Class 5: in-class development; begin work on portfolio entry
  • Class 6: in-class development; continue work on portfolio entry
  • Class 7: Students demonstrate project and portfolio

Due dates for your sketch book, exercises and other material will be interspersed in this schedule.
