Latest Information:

Mar 18: Check out the class project page! The project grades are not finalized yet. Most people did very well on the functionality portion. Most people did not do as well on the documentation portion -- as I mentioned this class meets a writing requirement and most writeups don't come close. Also, lots of animation projects don't have an animation clip or a working executable. Check your links to see if things are fine or not. You should also get an email from Lourdes. I have to submit my grades this Friday by midnight.
Mar 16: I just got a note from campus IT services: ``We will need to reset the disk quotas on the morning of April 5th from 1Gb to 250MB for your students in cmps161. Please remind them that their disk quotas will revert back to the 250Mb default as of the 5th and advise them to back up their data.''

Feb 8: Final proposals were received and added to the approved project list. If your project does not have a link, or title, you are not up-to-date with the project requirements. Also, I have sent some of you an email feedback about your final proposals. If you didn't get one, then you're okay. The last column also indicates the timeliness of your submissions so far.
Feb 8: Mid1 has been graded. If your score is showing up as 0, this means you forgot to sign page 1.

Jan 07: IEEE Visualization is the main conference for visualization. They usually run an annual visualization contest. Past entries are usually submitted by teams. If you are interested, this could potentially be a final project for cmps 161 also.
