PHILIP TAN: So
one thought that I

2
00:00:05,820 --> 00:00:08,420
have for educators who are
running those classes is

3
00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:13,190
be very clear to yourself and
then to the students about

4
00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:18,320
whether you are running a
class about game design,

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,840
or game programming,
or project management.

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,657
When we started
this class, we were

7
00:00:25,657 --> 00:00:27,740
trying to be as clear as
possible to the students.

8
00:00:27,740 --> 00:00:29,650
This is a class
project management.

9
00:00:29,650 --> 00:00:31,460
You will do all
those other things

10
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:34,560
in the process of this
class, and many of you

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,720
are here for that reason.

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,920
But that's the important thing
that we want you to understand.

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,490
And it is important because
it gives you clarity

14
00:00:43,490 --> 00:00:45,080
as an educator on
how you're going

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,663
to be assessing your students,
how you're going to be teaching

16
00:00:47,663 --> 00:00:51,710
your students, what you're going
to be valuing over the other.

17
00:00:51,710 --> 00:00:55,350
The game can be poorly
designed and maybe have bugs,

18
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:59,010
but the team clearly
understands how

19
00:00:59,010 --> 00:01:00,460
to communicate with each other.

20
00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:02,900
Well, that is a
team that should be

21
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:08,360
awarded for their work, at least
in the version that we teach.

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,752
Other schools are
definitely free to have

23
00:01:11,752 --> 00:01:13,085
a different perspective on this.

24
00:01:13,085 --> 00:01:14,790
It could be about
the quality of code.

25
00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:17,520
It could be about how
brave the students were

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,970
when it came to design.

27
00:01:18,970 --> 00:01:20,580
And you can award
it accordingly,

28
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:22,830
but you've got to be very,
very clear both to yourself

29
00:01:22,830 --> 00:01:24,790
and to the students.
