NYU Gives Their Students A Guitar Hero Course - NintendoPals.net Nintendo Friend Codes Forum

Beggining this fall NYU will offer a College Guitar Hero Course!

The Course is Titled:

Guitar Heroes (and Heroines): Music, Video Games and the Nature of Human Cognition

This actually sounds like it would be pretty interesting, besides getting to play Guitar Hero for College Credit.

“Video games are an understudied area,” said Marcus, a psychology professor. ”People dismiss them unfairly, but ‘Guitar Hero’ is a good tool for teaching and I’m interested in the nature of learning.”

This course will cover the topic of video games and human cognition.

It seems that some parents are a bit worked up about the new Guitar Hero class being offered.

“I just wrote a big check here,” fumed Glen Jackson, whose son, Jeff, is an incoming freshman at NYU. “I’m not paying for him to study video games. It seems a bit watered down.”'

awsome! if only you could get high school credit for this then this would be even better cause im not going to college for another 4-5 years.

Haha I can imagine why parents would not be too thrilled; I know that my parents would never support me if I wanted to choose that class at any rate. It'll be interesting to see how it performs this year and if it successfully accomplishes what they want by the end of it.

This sounds very interesting. The parent quoted must not have looked at what they actually studied. It's not just Ghero or Video Games. It's music, and human cognition (whatever that it XD)
