# Chapter 1-2. Introduction and 3D Modelling (two weeks)
**Note** The lecture plan as posted at the start of semester is last
year's schedule.  There will not be any revolutionary changes, but
it will be reviewed and amended as we go along.

reading skills.

# Chapter 4. Feature Tracking

We need to interleave this with material from later blocks to have
project tracker run over midterm.
[Study Technique]() may be a good candidate.
