Study forms and methods

You will attend classes according to the given schedule. In addition to class exercises, there will be independently assigned homework tasks.

If you have a comparable previous academic achievement (i.e., a higher education-level course completion), have studied for a year in, for example, a folk high school, and have work samples to present, or if you have skills equivalent to or exceeding the course level, for example, through work experience and have a portfolio to show, you may seek to have the course accredited. However, you must first discuss this with the course instructor.

Game Project

Timing of exams and assignments

– Deadlines are generally split into stages/steps in a larger project
– Ideas, progress and the finished prototype are to be pitched and presented
– If a student misses the deadline for an assignment feedback session, no assurance of feedback at a later date
can be given. Current works take precedence.
– If a student can not achieve a required deadline the lecturer must be informed and an extension will be negotiated.
– Unauthorized late return of course assignments will have an effect on final grading. (Between 1 and 2 points deducted)

Student workload

Meetings and presentations combined with a large quantity of student-lead group work related to given project
