[game_edu] Qol, "crunch" and Education

[Stephen Jacobs]

At RIT we're on quarter system (10 weeks of instruction and an exam week) and many of the courses have large scale projects, so unfortunately they know about crunch :-)
That said, I do discuss project management in my classes (I mostly teach graduate courses and a design course, I believe my colleagues do cover it at the undergrad level in other classes)
In my current grad class in "Business and Legal Aspects of the Game Industry) this quarter we've got a special resource to help us.  Last quarter one of the students became a certified SCRUM master for games via Clinton Keith's workshop and has been lecturing to my guys (and some of the undergrad classes) about SCRUM.
