Design of Programming Exercises for a MOOC Course of Computer Graphics

Abstract

In order to improve teaching effectiveness of a MOOC course, namely Computer Graphics(CG), a careful design of several programming exercises is requisite. By analyzing fundamental knowledge points in CG, five programming exercises are designed and explained in this paper. A program is provided for each exercise which is a framework with empty functions to be completed by a student. This set of exercises, as a significant supplement to video lectures and problem sets, is of great help to students to understand fundamental concepts in CG and master basic skills for graphics programming.
