Use the internal RU website for the course to return assignments.
The bulk of the projects in the course will center around a simple creature in a virtual environment. (The system used in 2006 year can be found here: CADIAHexapd – feel free to familiarize yourself with it).
Thought Questions: weekly assignments for each topic where you write a question about the reading material. The topic of the TQs is the coming week's lecture topics, unless otherwise noted.
(Please note that submission of all Thought Question assignments during the course is a prerequisite for taking the final test and thus a prerequisite for finishing the course.)
