We will use a relational DBMS environment for practical training (probably MySQL / MariaDB), which needs installation on the personal computer or school network Z: drive (available in the class room computer).
The environment for using relational DBMS is some LAMP stack with graphical user interface like UwAmp or similar like XAMPP or WAMP.
In addition to relational databases, we will take a look at MongoDB Cloud and Mongo Shell and practice creating and using a document-based database.

The course will be delivered through onsite sessions at Campus and the core learning will take place in a tutorial fashion.
Although peer-assisted learning is encouraged, students are expected to produce individual deliverable (in other words, no group work).
The course will be using Itslearning as the learning platform and teaching sessions will held in the campus.
Each Tuesday Support is available during the laboratory hours and the student's progress is monitored on weekly base.
The game project is evaluated as follows:
- Lecturer overall impression of the game (H-5);
- Peer evaluation of the game (H-5).
The combination of these will give the final grade for the course.
Missing the concept or prototype presentation will result in the deduction of 1 grade point from the final grade.
Attending more than 75% of the onsite sessions will result in positively to the final grade.

The contents of the course give understanding of the basic gaming and graphical tools, and attempt to provide students with a conceptual understanding of the mathematics needed to create games, as well as an understanding of how these mathematical bases actually apply to games and graphics that are essential in the operating environment of an ICT engineer, such as game development and graphical designing.
The students will team up for a project work and writing reports on some current and relevant aspect of game math. The teams then present their work to the whole group, which gives everyone an opportunity to understand the topic; all students will develop their mathematical proficiency. In this way, all students will have the opportunity to view themselves as powerful learners of game mathematics.
Task-based assessment supports learning and is continuous throughout the course. Studying in an international group develops students’ ability to intercultural communication and multicultural collaboration

Student preparation of own demos
The course presents to the students six topics of physics applied in games.
Each week the student has to do a game-demo related to the topic and a video explaining the parts of the project and the final outlook.
Each video will be evaluated by the two teachers and they will grade the video from 0 to 5 points.
The average of the six videos is calculated and that counts for 66 % of the grade.
The last two weeks the student prepare a final game project including as many topics of the course as possible. The project is presented real-time (no video) to the rest of the participants. This work will be grade by the two teachers, and it will count for 34 % of the grade.

The Quality Assurance topic of the course follows several chapters of the book:
Levy, L., & Novak, J. (2009). Game development essentials: Game QA & testing. Cengage Learning.
Due to the ongoing developments in the field of Game Testing, recommended additional literature will be provided as part of the lecture material at the appropriate timing. This ensures that students are kept abreast with the latest testing techniques and trends.
Learning on this course combines instructivist (20-25%), constructivist (50%) and connectivist (25-30%) learning methods, implying that students will receive instruction during contact sessions while also being responsible for their own development in the field of game testing. Students will have group assignments, where peer-assisted learning will be encouraged through various e-communication channels.
This course is a collaboration with the University of Turku and we will use the Moodle learning platform. The shortcut to the moodle page is:
http://bit.ly/gtst2023 - it will be activated in time for the course start

There are 4 main assignments that should be completed at the conclusion of each respective topic:
Quality assurance (group assignment)
Usability testing (individual assignment)
User experience testing (individual assignment)
Effectiveness study (group assignment)
The course includes 5 online quizzes that must be completed:
Tester skillsets
Getting to know what bugs there are
Elite bug hunting
Usability
User experience testing
The course includes 12 formative tasks scattered throughout the various topics.
All assignments and quizzes are transposed to a grade out of 5
Course grade is calculated as follows:
(Average of main assignments x 0,75) + (Average of online quizzes x 0,25)
The formative tasks are used to monitor student progress and no grade will be released until all formative tasks are complete and submitted.

Due to the practical nature of this course, there is no prescribed learning material. All necessary documentation and other material toward the successful completion of Intro to Game Dev Tools will be shared with students throughout the course.
The course will be delivered through close contact lecture sessions.
Peer-assisted learning is required throughout the course of the group project.
This course is a collaboration with the University of Turku and we will use the Moodle learning platform.
The shortcut for the Moodle page is:
http://bit.ly/igdt2023
Students are able to access Moodle using their HAKA accounts (TUAS account credentials).
The game project is evaluated as follows:
GROUP grade...
- Lecturers overall impression of the game (H-5).
INDIVIDUAL student per group grade
Each student will also be measured on their contribution to the group's activities for each project by:
- Self assessment of the contribution made;
- Group member evaluation of the contribution made;
The combination of these gives an individual grade for each student per project.

This course does not have any retake possibilities. Failing the course means that students will have to repeat it the following year.
This course leans on CDIO principles and takes a project-based learning approach.
This course requires students to work 135 hours and is divided as follows:
- Lectures and presentations: 40 hours
- Group work and preparation: 95 hours
The group work requires students to work together in teams to make a small game project.
Students will be required to present their group game project in 3 milestones:
Week 38 - Concept presentation
Week 43 - Prototype presentation
Week 49 - Final game presentation
The concept and prototype presentations are for monitoring student progress and used as the basis of formative feedback. For every formative milestone missed, one grade point will be deducted from the final grade of each group member.
The final game presentation is mandatory - failure to present this will cause the entire group to fail the course.
Week 36: Introduction to games industry and the history of video games
Week 37: Game Design and instructions for your first game project
Week 38: Game Engines
Week 39: Concept presentations
Week 40: Game Programming
Week 41: Game Graphics
Week 42: No Session. *Work on your game project*
Week 43: Game Programming - AI
Week 44: Prototype presentations
Week 45: Game Audio and tools
Week 46: Game Optimization and polishing
Week 47: Publishing the project. Publishing platforms, channels and process
Week 48: Finalize your game. No lecture or online session.
Week 49: Final Game presentation
Failure to produce and present the group game project will cause the entire group to fail the course.
Individual non-participation as determined by the peer-evaluation will also lead to failing the course.

Lecture and supplementary material will be made available at the appropriate timing for each topic or upon request from the students.
The course will combine instructivist theory lectures with cognitivist problem solving by means of programming tasks and assignements.
This course consists of:
- Practical assignments per topic; and
- An online theory quiz
All work is individual.
Practical assignments are to be returned via ItsLearning and will be graded on a 0-5 basis (failure to return an assignment by the end of the course, will lead to the assignment receiving a grade of 0). The grading criteria (rubric) for each assignment will be made available at the time of receiving the assignment. All practical assignments will be combined to give a practical average.
The theory quiz will be completed via the ItsLearning platform and transposed to a grade of 0-5. The quiz will only be open at the end of the course for a specified time - failure to complete a quiz during the allocated time slot (unless pertinent reasons are given) will result in the quiz receiving a grade of 0.
All assignments and the quiz will contribute to the respective averages - in other words, an assignment that was not attempted will score 0 and still count toward the final grade.
The course is graded as follows:
(Practical average x 0,5) + (Theory quiz x 0,5)

This course does not have a formal exam.
OOP is a 5 ECTS course and each student is thereby expected to work 135 hours. The workload will be broken into:
- 25 - 40% theory
- 25 - 40% practical work (under guidance and supervision)
- 20 - 50% self-exploratory work and problem solving
The workload numbers are purely indicators and will vary from student to student (depending largely on experience).
This course teaches the basics of object oriented programming (OOP) and uses the C# programming language as practical application tool.
OOP runs from September to December and consists of:
- Theory sessions (all students);
- Practical sessions for students who already have experience in C#;
- Practical sessions for students with little to no experience with C#.
The theory lecture sessions will include theoretical unpacking of OOP concepts and demonstrations (in tutorial fashion) of the topic for that specific phase of the course, while the practical sessions will be an opportunity for students to practice the aspects shown during the lecture sessions. The practical sessions are also intended for students to work on their class assignments, under the assistance of the lecturer, Turku Game Lab engineer, or senior student class assistant.
The course content is delivered on a weekly basis and will cover the following topics:
- The history and low-level theory of computer program execution;
- The C# development environment (Visual Studio) and the basic program structure;
- Data types and how to use them with logical and arithmetical operators;
- Control structures and iteration;
- Overview of OOP principles;
- Abstraction;
- Encapsulation;
- Inheritence;
- Polymorphism
Each student must complete:
- At least 4 practical assignments; and
- The theory quiz
If students do not meet this minimum requirement, they will fail the course.

Due to the practical nature of this course, there is no prescribed learning material. All necessary documentation and other material toward the successful completion of Advanced Game Technologies will be shared with students throughout the course.
The teacher will share the necessary resources for the academic writing component of the course at the correct timing.
The R&D Project course is taught by means of:
1. Contact sessions and lectures;
2. Lecturer and TGL engineer guidance during on-site project work;
- This includes code reviews for programmers and asset evaluations for content producers
3. Customer coaching during on-site project work
4. Self-learning and discovery by students
This course is entirely hands-on and students are expected to take initiative for their learning.
Location and timing of the contact and practical sessions will be made available in August 2023.
The project is evaluated as follows:
GROUP grade...
- Expert evaluation of the development deliverable (H-5);
- Customer evaluation of the development deliverable (H-5);
- Lecturer overall impression of the academic writing and development deliverables (H-5);
The average of these three gives a group grade for each student per project.
INDIVIDUAL student per group grade
Each student will also be measured on their contribution to the group's activities by:
- Self assessment of the contribution made;
- Group member evaluation of the contribution made;
- An overall impression by the course lecturers of the individual work logs and academic writing efforts.
The average of these three gives an individual grade for each student per project.
A detailed breakdown of the assessment criteria will be given during the course introduction.

Students are also responsible for:
1. Distributing and collecting customer and expert feedback forms for their project evaluations.
2. Filling and returning peer- and self-evaluation forms at the end of the project.
Failure to produce these documents will impact the course grade.
The lecturers will provide the appropriate forms at the time they are required.

This course leans on CDIO principles and takes a project-based learning approach.
Each student of the R&D Project course are each expected to complete 270 hours of work:
Below is a rough indication of the hours for different work categories - these are purely an indicator and are expected to be different for each group and can change according to group needs:
1. Contact sessions and lectures (35-45 hours)
2. Coaching during on-site work (40-60 hours)
3. Independent work (130-180 hours)
Students are expected to keep individual work logs of their activities related to the various projects. These work logs form part of the course assessment and will be reviewed regularly throughout the course.
This course runs from September to December and sees students integrated into one or more of the Futuristic Interactive Technologies research group RDI projects.
- The project(s) will be introduced during the opening two weeks of the course;
- In the next weeks, student groups are expected to research (under supervision) the problem and present a feasible solution;
- After the proposed solutions have been approved, student groups will draw up a project management plan that will see them through to the end of the course;
- The project plan must include development, implementation and scientific testing of the solution.
- Each group is to produce a draft academic publication based on the work they have researched and completed.

At the end of the course, there is a theory test on the most relevant theoretical content covered during the course.
Exercise work (max 20). The task in small groups is project-based work. [summative assessment, teacher assessment]
Final exam (max 20 points, linear table). [summative assessment, teacher assessment].
Repeat exams (max. 20 p.) 2 will be organized as needed. [summative assessment, teacher assessment]
