I used to supervisor university projects/theses, and found this course extremely well constructed, highly informative and I thoroughly enjoyed the architectural content and structure. I am slightly at a loss to see how this fits into the real world other than in gaming with the constraints of the age of the audience, the associated costs and real world interest.
