    Objects, timing and methods of assessment

    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.
