11 October: The model help session originally planned for tonight will be held next week at the same time, instead.

25 September: The schedule is slightly rearranged. The first midterm will be on Wednesday, October 4, and one homework has been removed to prevent deadlines piling up too close together.

16 September: There is a small revision to hw4.

6 September: There is a fix to the ray1 framework; see the ray1 assignment page.

5 September: There are new test scenes posted on the ray1 assignment page.

4 September: There are updates to the hw1 FAQ, and the ray1 assignment page has some information on IDE setup.

1 September: Due to slowness in setting up TA support, we are accepting hw1 on the due date for hw2, though we urge you to turn it in if you are done with it, so that you can get on with hw2.

25 August: Welcome to CS465! Be sure to check this space regularly, because we'll use it for announcements you won't want to miss.
