3 0 false COMP6720 <p>This is an individual reading and research-planning project. Under supervision, the student will investigate research questions of current importance in computer science itself or in the application of computer science to research questions in science, engineering or industry. The student will prepare a report which will be a scholarly analysis of the relevant literature, possibly combined with practical work of a scoping nature. Students will also be expected to develop a detailed plan for a practical research exercise which might extend this initial review. If the student does well enough in this course (achieving a Distinction mark or above) then they will be allowed to continue working on the topic in the COMP6702 eScience Project II course. The combined COMP6720+COMP6702 project courses will be equivalent in duration to a Computer Scinece Honours project.</p> <p>A normal prerequisite is 24 units of courses from the MInfTech program with a distinction average. In order to encourage flexible learning this project course may be scheduled in either S1 or S2 or both.</p> 1 false 14056 Assignments (80%); Final Exam (20%) 1 1 <p>After successful completion of COMP6720, students should be able to:</p><ol><li>Design, construct and debug small to medium-sized computer programs in a high-level programming language for New Media art.</li><li>Have an appreciation of the artistic process in computer-based New Media.</li><li>Be able to conceptualise, plan and execute an original and creative work of New Media art. </li><li>To have an appreciation of visual and physical interaction at a New Media interface.</li></ol> 1 Automating Tools for New Media 6 6 6 Automating Tools for New Media Band 2 Computer Science u4043648 3 Thirty one-hour lectures and ten two-hour laboratory sessions 2010
