The second unit for planning purposes, although we often describe the first two units on this wiki as "the first unit" for students, since it's when we look at games through the first of three lenses: formal structure. In this unit (often starting after the first week or two) students work together in groups for the first time, and work on a project longer than a week. Accordingly, there's an emphasis on playtesting, iteration and group collaboration!
Major Assignment II: Mechanics Game (usually assigned first session of week 3 due first session of week 5)
Lesson plans by Eric for each class, based on the order of classes suggested in the current syllabus template. If you're altering, changing length or re-ordering units, assignments, etc. you can still use this as a guide but you'll have to edit to fit your own schedule.
The Assignment Brief PDFs are meant to be handed out to students to provide concrete objectives & expectations. Materials files are used when assigning groups, often handed out to students.
