The course grade will be based upon performance on three exams, several programs, quizzes, and papers, and one in-class presentation. The weighting of these factors will be as follows:

Three 100-Point OpenGL Programming Assignments Each programming assignment will emphasize a specific game programming feature.	300 points
Two 100-Point Papers Each paper will be a topical paper, where everyone is assigned a different recent article to summarize and critique or a different game to analyze and critique.	200 points
One 50-Point Paper Presentation Each 15-minute presentation will address the issues and technologies associated with one of the assigned papers.	50 points
Five 20-Point Quizzes Five quizzes will be administered throughout the semester, each consisting of an essay question and/or some short-answer items taken from the reading material and class discussions.	100 points
Two 100-Point Exams The exams, administered during class, closed book and closed notes, will consist primarily of essay questions, with some identification/short-answer items and perhaps a few multiple-choice items.	200 points
One 150-Point Comprehensive Final Exam The final exam will be administered as scheduled (in accordance with University policy). The exam will be structured like the other exams.	150 points
Total Possible Points	1000 points

Violations of academic standards such as cheating or plagiarism will not be tolerated. Those determined to have violated those standards will be assigned a failing grade. (Students wishing to dispute the case should follow normal student grievance channels.)

The instructor will write letters to the appropriate Department Chairs and Deans, as well as to the Dean of Students, explaining the circumstances.

Attendance is strongly encouraged, but not required.

The material covered during lectures and class discussions shall form the basis for the exams and the projects.

There will be no work accepted late and no unexcused absences from exams. No makeup exams shall be given for unexcused absences. Exceptions are granted only for documented medical problems.

Occasionally, students find that a couple of major exams fall on the same date. To reschedule an exam under such circumstances, arrangements must be made with the instructor at least one week in advance.
