Final Class For Fun Options - DECIDED!
EDIT: I was FINALLY able to make a decision! I went with ARTS 574 - Interactive Game Design! If y'all still wanna leave your opinions, please feel free to do so!
Hey y'all! Next spring will be my final semester of my grad school program! Woot! Sadly, I only have two classes left, so I wanted to add in a third just for fun, but I'm not sure which to go with...
