Classes for next term

I know I jsut posted, but I jsut found out that my next term's schedule is up. I will be taking:

Life Drawing for Animation (7 credits)
This course covers advanced drawing concepts as they relate to character modeling and animation.Topics include basic human anatomy and form as it relates to the surrounding environment, spatial relationships and introductory sculpting techniques. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to effectively capture and develop gestures and motion in various media (pencil, pen, watercolor, clay, and sculpey) for use in 2D and 3D animation.

Game Analysis and Playability (4 credits)
This course introduces students to the concepts behind the development of games, conceptual reflection, genres, and the determination of what actually defines a game’s playability. During this course, students will play games, investigate code or sample aspects of existing games, and document and critique the effectiveness, efficiency, and aesthetic qualities of the sample games. Upon completion of this course, students should have played several games and documented the playability by critically analyzing the graphics, sound, artificial intelligence, and intended audience.

And I will be taking a course in Algebra (3 credits) as well. All sounds exciting ... especially the Game Analysis. I'll keep you all posted on how that goes!
