I took this class in the early 1990s; Banchoff was quite an interesting fellow, and excellent at motivating undergraduates. One of the things he offered his honors class was a chance at getting hired to do research as a freshman/sophomore. He was one of the best lecturers I've seen; he'd collect questions about the previous reading at the beginning of class, and realtime construct a lecture about the material by winding his way through answering all the questions. The combination was pretty motivating; I spent many hours shading 3d graphs by hand. Mine weren't this nice, but I still wish I had them.
