Principles of Game Design

The title of this course is misleading, it should be called "Writing a game design document". You won't be learning how to design games in this course, just how to write about game ideas. While this is something that SOME game designers do, by itself it won't teach you how to design a game, let alone make one. IMO it makes about as much sense as a course called "Film Directing" where all you do is write script outlines. Also, there is NO writen peer feedback in the assignments, all you will get is a meaningless score - this lack of feedback is inexcusable and invalidates the entire point of learning from a course as opposed to watching videos or reading books. Also, the presenter has an annoying tick where he says "right" every few seconds which makes listing to the videos unpleasant. Overall disappointing.
