    Description of Contents: Course Description

    Introduction, images and displays, 2D & 3D transforms, color models, 3D surface modelling, lighting and surface shading, ray tracing, animation

    Learning Activities and Methodology:

    Theoretical lectures: 2 ECTS. To achieve the specific cognitive competences of the course (PO a, c).
    Practical lectures: 3 ECTS. To develop the specific instrumental competences and most of the general competences, such as analysis, abstraction, problem solving and capacity to apply theoretical concepts. Besides, to develop the specific attitudinal competences. (PO c, d, e, j, k).
    Guided academic activities (whitout present teacher): 1 ECTS. The student proposes a project according to the teachers guidance to go deeply into some aspect of the course, followed by public presentation (PO e, k).

    Assessment System:

    Exercises and examinations are both learning and evaluation activities. The evaluation system includes the assessment of guided academic activities and practical cases, with the following weights:

    Examination: 40%
    Exercises: 50%
    Academic activities without teacher presence: 10%

    A minimum score of 3,0 is required to pass the exam.

Course Disclaimer

Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.

ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
