In preparation for Discussion Friday #4 (which happens on Sept. 17), each student will participate in three sessions of local multiplayer gaming with one or more other people. This means that students must play with other people in the same physical location (not through the internet). Students may play the same game during each session or different games. Students may play with the same people each session or different people. Play may be cooperative or competitive. Class members may wish to form groups to play together. After the three play sessions, each student must post a critical comment of approximately 500 words.
