Reviews of professor Jason Wiser

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
class is easy, not much work and all based on group projects/completion. the only thing that is graded for accuracy is the final game but he is very passive and can be rude when giving feedback. also lecture goes on for hours and tends to keep you after class, also you have no idea what your grade is. only upside is no exams and flexible duedates

3 hour lecture is long - there's a lot of downtime. Lecture content is fun, the focus of the class is on designing a game that is enjoyable to play, coding takes a backseat. Not much homework to do each week. Two big projects where you create a game: one for the midterm and one for the final.

He will trap you in mandatory outside of class zoom calls and take complete control over your game, often in a different direction than you wanted. He is not understanding and ruined all creativity that could've possibly be had in this space. All of his perceptions of your game are super rigid and he forces you to expand in HIS direction.

Jason was super fun and REALLY helpful outside of class. His lectures can be a little boring though. Some people didn't like this class because it was focused a lot on the art aspect, but that is an essential aspect of game design. The class is good for an easy A and if anything at all is difficult Jason will do so much to be supportive!
