Programming:  Programming for OpenGL is normally done in C becasue OpenGL is not object-oriented. For those wishing to use C++, GLT OpenGL C++ Toolkit provides an object-oriented C++ interface to OpenGL
GLUT: You will need to download and install freeglut. Information is available here.
Programming tools:  The OpenGL library is part of Microsoft Visual Studio.  Visual Studio, Microsoft Windows, and a variety of other Microsoft development software is available free to CSE students through the Microsoft Software Developers Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA.)  Details are available on the CSE Web Site MSDNAA page.

Course Policies, Exams and Grading

Late penalty for project work:  Late submission will be accepted until the end of the term subject to the following penalty.  The grade will be reduced by 5 points if it is one day late, plus 4 points more if it is 2 days late, plus 3 points for the third day late, plus 2 points for the fourth, plus one point per day after that.  For late resubmissions, the penalty will be reduced in proportion for any part of the project that is submitted in working order on the due date.

There will be two exams, a midterm and a final (dates to be announced.) In computing the final grade, the programming projects will count 40%, the midterm 25% and the final 35%.
