Course Categories:
Introductory
Introductory courses require no prerequisites. However, overall interest, general background (computing, graphics, math applications), and, possibly, a prior short course or “survey” may be beneficial.
Intermediate
For intermediate courses, students should have a significant working knowledge of the area, attained through introductory courses, reading, and practical experience. These courses often organize existing knowledge into a coherent whole, to supply a model or other structure for the discipline and supply?substantial technical content and depth. Most courses cover many specific topics in detail, such as algorithms, techniques, and architectures.
Advanced
An advanced course covers a narrow topic in substantial technical depth. Presentations will often include challenging mathematical concepts and programming examples. Students in these courses are well-informed in the general topic of the course and are ready to consider advanced material. They have gained their knowledge through intermediate courses, reading, and significant years of experience.
