Computer Graphics Syllabus

This document outlines the syllabus for a Computer Graphics course. The syllabus is divided into 8 units that cover topics such as graphics systems, output primitives, 2D and 3D geometric transformations, viewing and projection, 3D object representation, visible surface detection, and computer animation. Students will be assessed through internal marks worth 25% and an external exam worth 75% of the total 100 marks. Recommended textbooks are provided to support student learning in the course.
