This very short paper is an informal report on successfully giving a graphics course for the first time at Murray State University. The course was designed as a junior/senior/graduate level elective, had a data structures prerequisite, and was designed to “address fundamental concepts at the system development level.” The paper does not say whether any particular text was required and/or used. The implication is that some books were referenced and that several current journal papers were used as text material. The content appears fairly standard and covered the basics through clipping to fractals. The paper will be of mild interest to graphics course developers and/or teachers.
