COSC 3550 - Final Exam

The final exam will be a standard questions/answers exam (like Exam 1).  The exam should be taken without books or notes.  You should not use your computer to write or run sample programs (again, like Exam 1).
  If you would like, you can use one 3x5 notecard (both sides).

The officially scheduled time for this exam is 10:30AM - 12:30PM on
Wed, May 6.
I'll be sending you the exam by email on Tuesday, May 5, around 5PM
(Central Time).
You can print out the exam, take it as usual, then scan/photograph that, or write answers on a separate sheet of paper, or type up answers.  The answers should be submitted to the D2L dropbox by
5PM (Central Time) on Wed, May 6.

Anything we've studied throughout the semester is fair game (so you should review the Exam 1 and 2 topics), but there will be an emphasis on material since the second exam.

I'll be holding office hours 2-4PM on Monday and Tuesday, May 4-5.

Topics since the second exam include:

JavaFX 2D Scene Graph
  Pre-defined Shapes (Circle, Rectangle)
  Translating and rotating Nodes
  Transition animations (Translate, Rotate)

3D graphics
  Four coordinate systems: Model, World, Camera, Screen
     I might ask you to explain these in general, or
     related to a simple example.
