Assignment description
*Task*: Google (or alternatively use Gamasutra.com) on the topic of the lecture and try to find either articles or games that relate to the topic. Play the games (alternatively find gameplay videos or live streams of someone playing the games), and read the articles (remember being critical towards your sources).
*Summarize*: What were you able to find and what did you learn? What was new to you? Do you disagree with something? Write down your reflection in 50-200 words.
*Questions*: Write down 1-3 questions that you would like our lecturer to try to address in the talk. Not all questions will be addressed. The earlier you send your questions, the more likely they will be answered).

Use minimum of 30 minutes and maximum of 3 hours for each lecture assignment and report the findings that you were able to confer within the time slot.
