CollegeProf 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.
Rene was an intelligent guy, but he had really high expectations for a summer class. be ready to listen to him repeat the same lecture, waste 30 minutes doing the roll call, and then throwing all of the extra work that you couldn't get to in class because he wouldn't stop rambling on irrelevant stories.
