CIS 736 (Computer Graphics 2) project presentations wrapped up yesterday, the last day of our class.

I was rather satisfied with what people have turned out this year, though everyone is still working feverishly on collecting experimental results. Which is as it should be, if you're in the course; in fact, what are you doing reading LJ? Back to work! ;-)
My TA has finished collecting my revised slides and Tegrity lectures, so I will finally be able to finish those long-deferred syllabi for CIS 736 and CIS 830.
Meanwhile, I've been discussing BNJ with some of my program managers at Ye Olde Federal Funding Agencies. Have any of you who are reading this done education grant proposals before, especially for undergraduate programs? I'd be interested in hearing your advice, here or in
