So now I'm two weeks and two days into this course and I must say, it's really hectic and a lot to process. These takes approximately 2-4 hours until the day's done or we go through a another lecture (during thursdays and fridays). Most of these have group assignments where we students have the chance to get to know each other and learn to cooperate. And then there are the ones where we just sit on are arses and try to concentrate as much as you can to take in everything the teacher says and understand his context. And during those lectures, some of the students pops up and ask questions and opinions about certain things. Most of them are relevant to both that which the teacher's saying and to the course itself, but then there are some who do these quite lengthy monologues about games that they've played (most games that I've never heard of before). While these may be intressting for some (like for me), I think these should instead be discussed to the teacher after the lecture so that the lecture won't take too much time when many, like me, are trying to take in and elaborate everything the teacher says.
I think we should have an assignment where we can write an essay on one or many games within a genre. Or having a group discussion about a certain game (or several ones) that we all have played before, and then gather all our thoughts and present these to the teacher. That might be nice, I think.
But then, of coruse, this is the first period of our mutual education. It might be tough, but then you will get used to it over time. And this is a new thing for many young students, like me, who never have been studying at a university or college. And if any one would need some help, the school will always stand by you.
