I had the final formal meeting with my Spring 2019 Game Studio class today, and we conducted a final retrospective in a format similar to the one from Spring 2016: we annotated a timeline with details about what was learned and how we felt about it.
One of the most unexpected comments in the conversation was about how the studio class helped students succeed in their other classes. Many students agreed that they came to campus MWF for our 9 o'clock studio meetings, and since they were already on campus, they attended their other classes. They were quite explicit that if they did not have the studio, they would have skipped class much more often. I don't remember this phenomenon ever coming up in the studio before.
However, they also mentioned that their work in other classes often took a back seat to their motivated focus on the studio project, but hey, at least I got them to show up.
