Homework Policies :

• There will be about 3-4 homeworks and/or programming assignments.
• You may work together on homework, but it should be turned in individually. On the other hand, it is all right to discuss programs with one another, but work should be done individually. Programming assignments will be done using OpenGL on any platform (Windows, Mac or Unix).
