CS 410:  Introduction to Computer Graphics

Taught this class in Spring 1996.

Some unsolicited post-class comments I received in email...

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed taking your class
this semester. It was a lot of work but it was fun at the same time.
I thought you did a really great job of teaching. Your lectures were
well organized and easy to understand, and I feel like I got a lot
out of taking your class. Hope you have a good summer!
Tell your daughter thanks for letting us use her tinker toys. :)

Now that all that was to be said has been said, (410 grades are in and the 
recommendation is complete) I can say (without fear of brownieism sp?, word?) 
that it truly was a pleasure to have you for my professor for 410. Not being 
much of a brownie sometimes has its drawbacks because it hard to say the nice
things that need to be said. It is rare to find a teacher that demonstrates 
the enthusiasm that you have for teaching, always another explanation, late 
night sessions before projects are due, lots of sense of fairness, kindness 
and the investment of so much time towards your students, and the experience 
that one expects from their professors. 
As it is often the case that appreciation is hard to express, this time is 
no different. I have many good memories of cs410 and am rooting for you in the
hopes that your thesis is coming along well with a minimum of obstacles.

I took my final Wednesday, you should have it by now.  The class
was great, I learned a lot more than I thought I would.  It's cool to
understand what's going on at the low level of the 3d graphics
library I'm using.  This was my first Surge class and I was fairly
impressed, you did a good job of teaching, and the camera
operator did OK at tracking what was being written on the board,
though there were plenty of times I wished I could control that
camera myself.  Anyway, thanks for the class.
