Frank Pereira, Jennifer Underwood, and Jeff Underwood, all lecturers in CSU, Chico’s Computer Animation and Game Design (CAGD) program, present a fascinating in-depth look into the program’s challenges, changes, and achievements. The program has embraced innovative teaching methods, including “flipped” classes where students review online lectures at home, and have more project-focused lab time during class, and online summer sessions to reach more students; in turn helping them reach their goals. Each lecturer is committed to student success, and shares what is done in and out of the classroom to prepare students for a bright future in Computer Animation and Game Design.
