Advanced Topics in Multimedia (Graduate), Fall 1999

Overview:

This will be a projects class. You will have a lot of flexibility in how you contribute to this class - mostly I'll be looking for good participation that helps us to move these projects forward.

Right now it is important for you to send me descriptions (if you haven't already) of where you think you would like to focus from among the categories of topics we went over in the first class.
