Pie-in-the-sky approach to class structure and general course philosophy refreshing, but not practical if one wants to eat in the real world.
Severe lack of support from general university funds – new computer lab is literally a closet with two computers crammed into it.
End of year assignment for 3rd year class – “make a video game” – however, no prior training in programing, or the use of game engines was offered in prior years. 4th year core course assignment was dedicated to making a full game – again without instructions on programing, game engine use and manipulation, adequate access to computers capable of running the required engine, or 3D modeling programs (Maya).
Students are expected to (somehow) teach themselves everything under the eye of inexperienced, but enthusiastic instructors.
Advice: Would strongly caution enrollment if one wants to MAKE video games, but encourages others interested in purely academic approaches to investigate the course.
Summary: Went for 3 years in the IASC program… now I’m qualified to “feel ways about stuff”, but not much else.
