Actually you're on the right track. It helps if you're an actor/know plenty of actors. With the exception of intense method actors, most are only "in character" within 3-4 steps of being on stage. Other than that you're not worried about how the audience views you and you become yourself again. You worry more about the technical side of things such as props in the right place, etc. etc.Kollega said:
Carry this over into real life and when you're alone in your room, apartment what ever, you don't worry about social norms or behaviour. When you're with your friends or strangers you have a role to play and things you do or don't do depending on the situation, you're on stage. And just like an actor on stage, you're usually in this role before you're seen, such as right before you open the door.
No, no there wasn't.Muertos said:

Besides how awesome that teacher is, this is a great moment for us gamers. Games are now begining to be taken so seriously that they are considered a good study material. Hopefully it wont be long before we have "Studying the deeper meanings of Mario" classes or "God of War's symbolism" (Am totaly making these up. Just to be funny) electives.
This is excellent. I just have one question: what about the non-gamer students who might not be able to beat it? Maybe a let's play or some sort of walkthrough is in order. The problem with that is, if one doesn't play a game for his or herself, he doesn't get the full experience.
Although, if one of my professors assigned me to watch a let's play for class, that would be awesome.

See, now that's teaching. The fact he introduces people to gaming which I love aside, the professor is obviously trying new things and actually attempting to reach students with what he's teaching in a way other than writing on the blackboard for 2 hours, unenthusiastically talking about some BS no one's gonna remember a month after the exam.
Bravo sir, I only hope more professors take lesson from you.
Besides, remember, it's not about the game, but illustrating a point. He can lead them through it if necessary, the educational points are still there

It's not really a complicated game. As long as you know how to work a mouse and a keyboard (absence of knowledge that's a challenge to find among students in developed countries), it's easy to get through it, it mostly relies on logical thinking, it's not even too reflex twitchy.SuperMse said:

well Professor, after several hours of studying the game and multiple re-"readings" I can stand on one solid theory. The cake lied.
OT: Cool, glad to see video games are taking a more prominent place in the world. now If i can just figure out how the HELL to get out of chamber 14, ill be set.

This is so damn cool!
In all seriousness though, I'm quite interested to see if any other schools try to adopt this type of teaching. I hope that it all works out, and we get to see more classes like this in the future.
Games are no longer games anymore ladies and gentleman. They are now also learning materials....How badass is this?!
