Course detail
Computer Graphics I
FSI-YPB Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester
Students will become familiar with programs for creating and editing raster graphics. They learn to work with basic and advanced tools (drawing, working with layers, retouching, transformations, masks). The subject will lead to the creation of 2D graphics, especially printed, large graphics and Web graphics

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will gain knowledge of work in programs for creating and editing raster graphics, which will enable them to create quality graphic outputs of their projects (pictures in technical reports and presentations, presentation posters, visualization) in the next years.
Prerequisites
Students are expected to have elementary knowledge of working with PC, Windows and the ability of creative thinking.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course has the form of seminars in computer labs, which are focused on practical skills.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Classified credit requirements: attendance in lessons, meeting deadlines of assigned projects, practical test verifying the knowledge of work with the software and ability of creative work. Resulting evaluation consists of evaluation of indiividual projects, tasks and a test. In total it will be possible to acquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale. If some of the projects and test are awarded less than half of the maximum pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 – 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 – 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 – 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 – 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 – 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 – 0 / 4 / Failed.
Aims
The aim of the course in terms of learning outcomes and competences The aim of the course is to acquaint students with work in programs for creating and editing raster graphics. Work on these programs will create 2D raster graphical outputs for printed, electronic and multimedia graphics.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
