In the Spring of 2025, I will teach an “accelerated honors” section of CS559 (Computer Graphics).

If you are interested in taking this class, you can request permission to enrol by filling out the form: here. Be warned the class will be more work - but you will get an opportunity to learn more about Computer Graphics, and get more opportunities to try out the concepts that you learn in assignments and projects.

If you are working with me (even as a directed study student), you will need to do some things for the University and my funding agencies.

I ask that everyone do these things, even if at first they may not be required.

1. Before you can start officially, you must complete “Responsible Conduct of Research” Training. https://research.wisc.edu/integrity-and-other-requirements/responsible-conduct-of-research-rcr/

   I think it’s a bunch of Canvas quizzes. It shouldn’t take long. Please do it ASAP.

Some advice that I like to give to students and others who listen.

These are old pages from my old web page that are pretty much obsolete, but I decided to recreate since they may have some value.
