This week and next week's class.

This week class (24/11/08) will be in XR1005 for a combined lecture with FCM. Do not worry about attendance in that lecture class.

However, next week 1/12/08, please return to the FOM classroom to continue the lecture. We will have our own lecture from December 1st, 2008 onwards. Attendance will be taken as usual.

This week is submission in your tutorial. Please submit to Mdm Lydia and update your blog. Remember, no blog entries will mean deduction in marks. I may check on your blogs while I am away. Any late submissions will not be allowed.

If you have any questions, please leave it in the comments box or email me. I will not be around from Tuesday 25/11/08 till 1st December.

So the only way we can keep in contact is through this blog or email me in MMU account.

Good luck and see you all soon.

Welcome back Computer Graphics students!

In this semester, we will be openning the doors and focussing on Bitmap images. We will be using Adobe Photoshop CS 2 as the tool to enhance your skills of computer graphics.

For the information of the course, please go to the MMLS and browse through the information.

You will be required to create 2 assignments and 6 in-class exercises. You will also be required to use the blogs that you had used in your previous computer graphics course to document your process of creation or development of your assignments.

Please note, if there is no BLOG entries, you will be severely penalised in the form of reduction of grades and marks. It may also result in you failing the course.

Therefore, please upgrade your blog entries. Any changes in blog URL, please inform me as well as your tutors. This will be your responsibility.

I have linked most of your blogs on the right of this page Please let me know if I am missing your blog, or you have changed your blog address or if I placed your blog address in the wrong faculty. Use the comment link below to let me know.

PS: I will be putting up the tentative or possible marks for your assignments after the final exam for you to review. They will not be finalised until the final exams are full marked. So the marks will only be tentative to the finalised marks.

Attention Computer Graphics 1 students (FCM)

Submission is NOT OVER YET!

As of today I have yet to get ALL your work. Eventhough I have told everyone to submit to the specific representative of each groupk, not all of you submitted. Therefore, I have no choice but to do the following:

(a) I expect to receive ALL the assignment from ALL students by next week's class. NO EXCEPTIONS!

(b) The submission process for this class is not over yet. So please submit your work to me by next class as required.

Thank you
