Learning outcome
Knowledge: The candidate will acquire knowledge of more advanced graphics and visualization principles and algorithms.
Skills: The candidate will enhance his/her skills in graphics and visualization programming through practical assignments.
General competence: The candidate will gain in-depth understanding of more advanced principles and algorithms in computer graphics and visualization, will realise the potential use of the above and possess the basis for performing research or pursuing commercial applications in the field.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, exercises, project, mini-workshop.
Coding exercises and the associated documentation are to be done by the students themselves (use of AI tools in the project must be reported).
Lectures and examination will be held in English.
Students are free to choose Norwegian or English for written assessments.
Further on evaluation
The final grade is made up 50% from the final examination and 50% from the practical part.
Regarding the practical part: There will be up to two small assignments in graphics or visualization and a final project, that are to be coded and documented by the students themselves. It also includes a mini-workshop where the final projects are presented. If there is no TA, then the two small assignments may be cancelled and the final project alone will count for 50% of the grade.
If there is a re-sit examination in August, the examination form may change from written to oral.
If a student decides to retake the course for grade improvement or if the student failed the course, then they have to redo both parts of the course.
