Presentation Transcript

  1. UCSD Media Computation in Java CS1 for majors* (N >130, 2x a year) • Increase retention • Losing 32% by end of first year • Increase recruitment (more students == more power) • Recruit more, keep the best  • Best peer-reviewed results • Assessment: Will we keep using it? • Do students “learn” less? • Is retention/recruitment higher? • Student attitudes (measured and anecdotally) better? *See at ITiCSE 2010: Experience Report: CS1 for Majors with Media Computation

  2. 3-way chromakey (&& and ||) • Write a program that uses at least 3 images to create a new image. • You will take a picture with at least one person wearing a colored T-shirt in front of a green screen. • You will then find two pictures. One will be the background (to replace the green screen) and one will replace the T-shirt. You could put the person in the picture in Hawaii by using the Hawaii background and give them a fractal colored T-shirt. • There is room for creativity. You can have multiple people in the image, or you could use a blue and a green sheet to provide two different backgrounds. The minimum required is replacing one background and one T-shirt.

  3. Scaffolded Collage (or what to do on midterm week) • Week 5: Simple 3 images, each with different filter, horizontally glued • Week 6 (midterm): Write a program that uses at least 3 images to create a collage. The three images can each be duplicated in the collage. Every image should appear at least one with a filter on it. You can apply more than one filter to an image if you like. Really, just be creative.

  4. Art Show • Choose your favorite: • Chromakey • Collage • Change it however you like! • Prize (very important) • Certificate • Dept chair handshake in class • SUPER important • Show them “inspiration” from last year
