Why a Blog?

If you're reading this then you're probably enrolled in "Physics of Animation" (Art/Phys 123) at San Jose State. Welcome.

As a first homework assignment you've been asked to set up your own blog for the course. You will use that blog for posting your homework and other assignments. You can also use it to interact with your classmates, passing along comments and advice.

I confess that using blogs in this course is something of an experiment. In your homework you'll be creating images and video, which I need to grade. In the past this has been done by turning in printed pages, sending files by e-mail, uploading files to servers, etc. Hopefully using blogs will simplify the process, both for you and for me. But, as I said, this is an experiment so we're both guinea pigs; feel free to send me your comments, suggestions, and advice.

Hope you enjoy the course. See you in class!
