Student comment from the exit survey:
"I'm making sure I know the basics around the industry and what is required so that I don't make a foolhardy decision to jump into something too quickly and in an unprepared way. For others in the same position, this is valuable preliminary information in one place from an authority, rather than searching around online for the information in bits and pieces from different sources (which is fine, too, as well as free, but takes a bit more time and discernment). Thanks!"

Dr. Lewis Pulsipher (Wikipedia: "Lewis Pulsipher"; "Britannia (board game)"; "Archomental" ) is the designer of approaching a dozen commercially published boardgames. His game "Britannia" is described in an Armchair General review "as one of the great titles in the world of games." Britannia was also one of the 100 games highlighted in the book "Hobby Games: the 100 Best". He...
Too much intro about the instructor. I can read his bio, don't need that included. It is trending up at this point because he's discussing the industry...which is what I paid to hear about. :)
Very eye opening, i highly recommend this to those that are thinking of getting into the industry.
I am interested in game design and is the first time that I follow an online course on the video game industry. This course has provided important information to me, provides clear and concise information on the reality of working in this field. It is composed of video lectures, slides and short quizzes, it is simple and understandable, it goes straight to the point, provides information honestly and provides guidance to explore the topic. My opinion is that it is worth the time and money.
Great to getting starting. Covers alot of important info, etc... to get easier an job in the video game industry. Worth every dollar...
Dr. Pulsipher has put together a solid preparation for those who are seriously considering working in the VGI in the future, but don't know exactly where to start. Although alot of the information might be found in various other places and through other sources online (as with much of education these days) the benefit of this course is to have a significant amount of substantial information in one place, with the ability to progress through the lectures at your own pace, with the same authority (Dr. Pulsipher) speaking from a consistent perspective. There is no need (or way) to reinvent the wheel, so good counsel on this subject should be fairly consistent from those who know and have succeeded. As with Dr. Pulsipher's other courses (I've taken one other) the information is backed up with data and is practical, rather than opinionated and theoretical. The class is valuable for those who have yet to attend an undergraduate school, or for those who are already out of school or are shifting careers. If you are self-motivated and are willing to follow through with the advice, information, resources, and few exercises available, you should be able to gain ground in knowing the best steps you can take to get a job in the VGI. Of course, nothing in life is guaranteed, as Dr. Pulsipher indicates, but one can be prepared for what is expected and put oneself in the best position possible for success.

Little to no substance of information is there to be had in this 'course'. Unfortunately even the mood and quality is low.
