We discuss the implementation of a similar course project structures in an engineering course on human-computer interaction (HCI) and a humanities course on game design. Both courses featured a milestone-driven, iterative approach to student projects, which provided students with a great deal of diverse feedback throughout the duration of the course. Parallels are drawn between player experience testing and HCI methods. Keywords— Game design, player experience testing, humancomputer interaction, research methods, pedagogy.
