Prof Weber is so sweet and really cares about his students. But I do NOT recommend this class for those who do not care enough about video games. If you're passionate about this topic I'm sure you'll find it interesting. The mock trial was poorly managed and the two MC exams covered so much content though the final wasn't cumulative.

Dr. Weber is the best prof i've ever had! He is extremely knowledgeable and cares a ton about his students. No mandatory attendance but I still attended every class because it was fun and interesting. Grade was 2 tests and 1 paper, he provided study guides. Overall an amazing class and an amazing prof. Highly recommend!

Class graded on midterm final and mock trial. The mock trial was so poorly managed and organized. Roles are not equal. The midterm was based on SO much information and the most random things. Would not reccomend.

Prof Weber is so cool and he really cares about the video game industry. He has personally been involved with studies in the field and has lots of experience. He talks clearly and is very thorough in his lectures. If you take notes during the lecture you won't have to read. Papers are easy and overall this class really isn't time consuming at all.

One of the best online classes Ive ever taken ! Dr. Weber is a respected doctor with a Ph.D & MD. I will definitely take another one of his clases soon !

This was the most unreasonable class I've ever taken. Since it's remote, there are no tests, but huge time consuming competitively graded projects. This will definitely take time away from other classes and the grading criteria is not always clear or logical. I'm writing this to warn others like I wish I had been, He's a nice guy, but awful class.
