Additional Assessment Information

100% courseworkCoursework will comprise programming exercises where each such exercise will comprise a single major algorithm learned in class. Student will be provided a skeleton code and an automatic self-checker. Examples of possible exercises are:1. Reconstruction from point clouds2. Simulation of multiple rigid bodies3. Discrete shape analysis (visualizing quantities on meshes)4. Elastic deformation with finite elements5. Learning functions on meshesThere will be a choice of two such exercises, where a final exercise on fixing and debugging problems in geometry will be mandatory.The core part of each exercise will cover about 70% of the grade, whereas possible creative augmentations to the exercise might top the grade further. The students will need to write a short single page to demonstrate their outcome on that part.We will include an 'exercise 0' which is not formally graded (although it will have an auto-checker), but that runs through the basics of using the machinery of the course and some basic computational linear algebra. The feedback will be in the form of an automatic checker, where the theoretical aspects will be discussed in the tutorial / lab sessions.
