Amp — It gets even worse… The work created by some of these students has even been recognized as a stellar example of how to write a college research paper. For example, K. Davie’s paper on gaming addiction was reprinted in the book KEYS FOR WRITERS as a sample of what students should strive for when writing an APA-style research paper. And more than a thousand people download N. Nobel’s paper on sexual interaction in virtual worlds within a week of its publication on the class site. Other have cited the some of the student work in formal academic publications and conference papers devoted to the study of virtual worlds. Clearly, this is comparable to “female teachers getting caught doing students.”

Check out: http://www.trinity.edu/adelwich/mmo/students.html and http://www.trinity.edu/adelwich/worlds/students.html to see copies of their research papers.

This year’s class isn’t using traditional MMOs at all. Instead, we’re looking at the world of marketing and promotion in virtual worlds. See:

“A significant amount of class time will be spent in the game-world, but you are also expected to devote at least five hours a week to ethnographic research within World of Warcraft”

Overly developed high school girls, female teachers getting caught doing students and now this.

I went to school in the wrong era.

So your professors understand if you skip to go on that AQ40 raid because you’re up in DKP?

Ugh, and here I am wasting my time on a graduate degree at a school that actually has, a campus and whatnot. My 67 undead rogue is suffering for the sake of what, a real education?

Ah well, I bet they make you play Alliance in that course anyway. Not worth it.

“And the actor said the lines with no visible irony whatsoever.”

Clearly a master of his craft.
