Take this class for GE. PNP is fair, it is hard to get an A but easy to pass.

Leckman is so experienced in his field it's actually kind of hysterical. He has done so much awesome work creating games and teaching people to make games as well as being part of some really inspiring movements. His lectures are engaging and share some of what it's like to create games and what it means to him.

This class was fairly simple online and Tad was a great and very passionate professor. The projects consisted of two games that we were given more than enough time to complete. Quizzes were based on readings and pretty simple. Section attendance counts for your grade, but the actual section and lecture were a little tedious.

Lots of reading assignments, but the lectures are great! Tad's super cool and has a ton of experience in the field worked for riot, lucas films, and blizzard. Also referenced a ton of relevant video games like league while teaching. Mainly spending the class building a video game, takes a lot of time, but at the end very worth the effort.

I can't remember if I've ever done a rate my professor before. Usually I consider this thing to be Disrespectful and Lame. Tad really deserves praise. He taught the entire 170 -> 171 -> 172 sequence this year for both game design majors at UC Santa Cruz. I especially enjoyed the lecture on Tahm Kench.

I'm not a coder, I am not a computer guy. I took this class for credit. It was awesome. Tad made lectures feel interactive and fun. Even online, I was there for every lecture. It was clear the system hadn't removed his passion yet. Please take his class. Even if just for credit.
