Week 10
CLASS ACTIVITIES
- In-Progress presentation of your Interactive Non-Fiction Storytelling projects
- Gameplay from Games for Actors and Non-Actors – come prepared to guide us through at least one game!
- Game design exercise (as time allows)
- Review chapters 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 & 10 in Games, Design and Play: A Detailed Approach to Iterative Game Design
- We'll be doing another (informal) presentation/discussion of your projects in-progress today. It will be our last opportunity to provide meaningful feedback to one another before the final version is due.
- NEW: Please provide your three class colleagues with feedback about their Practitioner Interviews. On each Practitioner Interview page within Scalar, please use the commenting/annotating features to offer your colleagues thoughts, comments, questions. (Let's say that a paragraph of feedback for each interview is quite sufficient and appropriate, although of course you may engage in a lengthier discussion if you wish.)
- Again, please come prepared to guide us through some gameplay from Boal's Games for Actors and Non-Actors
- I'd like to respectfully request that you take a moment to fill out a class evaluation (which are due by March 18th at 11:59pm). These evaluations are, I assure you, taken seriously by me as a way to improve the class and my teaching. This was the first iteration of this class and I've learned a lot thanks to you all. These evaluations are not just filed away and never looked at again; they are important to instructors, departments, and personnel action committees. I do think that it's one opportunity for you to influence the teaching and pedagogy that shapes the UCSC experience. Students may access their evaluation forms on the Online Course Evaluation website. Thank you!
