Caro is a great professor and created a great classroom environment/culture for Game Design. I enjoyed coming to her class each day as someone interested in games and game development. The class includes aspects of tabletop game design, cards, actual video games (if interested, not forced), and other relatively peculiar ways of creating games. The activities and assignments include a lot of group work and may have you creating games to play outdoors or reimagining an already created game into your own product. The only problem I had with the course was the grading system was honestly overcomplicated and should be reduced to a regular grading system. There's a thing with certain professors especially within INFO where they like to try different grading systems to give students options in how they approach the course but it overall feels empty and not very helpful compared to regularly graded assignments. I also would include more content to better inspire cool games created that can be put on a portfolio as there is some time spent on creating a portfolio during the later stage of the class. Overall, the class was good and I would take it again with a few updates. |

Great professor, with no exams or quizzes, she cares about you learning content and understanding it through the use of project assignments. You definitely have to learn Figma to move through INST367 properly though. I highly recommend this class, she brings treats, gives us breaks but still provides amazing discussions geared towards learning. I learned more a lot design in this class without the stress of it being a college course itself. |

The best professor I had in my entire college experience. Wish I knew her before my last semester here because I would have taken all her classes. Super caring, understanding, fun, and knowledgeable. If you aren't taking her class, you are missing out. |

The nicest, most understanding professor I have ever taken. She understands that students have a life outside of school and would open her office hours every week to talk about things other than assignments! The workload was not difficult, but group work is a main part of the class. The grades are separate so if you do your work, you get the credit, if your partners do not do the work, they don't get the credit. Very fair class and I would take her other classes. |
