About Challenges

Challenges are the grading activities in the Game Design course.

  • A challenge has two phases: author and reviewer.
    • In the first, author, you must develop a game according to a set of conditions and instructions.
      • In the end of this phase you submit your resolution.
    • In the reviewer phase you are going to score the resolutions made by your colleagues, by following a questionnaire.
  • Your final grade in the challenge depends on both the author and reviewer phases:
    • The author grade is the average score your work got from your colleagues, working as reviewers.
    • The reviewer grade weights how much your score of each question deviates from the scores given by the other reviewers of that question. The smaller the deviation, the grater your grade as reviewer.
  • You must submit a game in the author phase in order to access the reviewer phase.
  • There are scheduled five scoring challenges.
    • You must submit, at least, three challenges (> 50%).
    • The final grade always considers the full set of challenges (100%).
