LA708 Thesis III

Students in Thesis III will work with their thesis advisor to develop meaningful playtests to explore the theoretical premise of their research that will drive their project towards a unique and creative solution.

Description

Students in Thesis III will work with their thesis advisor to develop meaningful playtests to explore the theoretical premise of their research that will drive their project towards a unique and creative solution. In this final thesis course, students will show mastery of the methodologies and techniques of graduate-level research and critically reflect on research processes, including outcomes, limitations, speculation on future work, potential applications, and pedagogical effects. Building upon the working drafts of Thesis I and II, students will produce a final product that is effectively written, appropriately organized, and properly formatted.

Objectives

  • Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their thesis projects from a theoretical as well as a practical perspective, using the appropriate mode of discourse for each
  • Properly adhere to the requirements of MLA style and format their writing accordingly
  • Read, digest, and analytically respond to scholarly sources in order to produce meaningful contributions to the existing critical conversation
  • Conduct qualitative and/or quantitative research and discuss the outcomes of that research as it contributes to the thesis game specifically and to the game design industry as a whole
