2871 - Esports, Speedrunning, and Video Games 英授 Taught in English

Esports, Speedrunning, and Video Games

教育目標 Course Target

This course examines what video games are doing and why it matters. We look at questions like: Are esports really sports? What counts as an exploit vs. cheating? Who gets to set the rules for playing games? When (if ever) is doing “bad” things in a game actually wrong?

We’ll ground every discussion in real cases – we’ll play classic games in class and watch speedruns – and use them to test ideas about rules, fairness, and responsibility in play.

Bring curiosity and an open mind.
