Well. I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting myself into when I signed up for "Games People Play." I needed to fill some elective spots with TESC classes and this one looked interesting. I'm not a real mathy person so I had to kinda struggle to get past the math in the first couple modules, but now it's looking more funâreal life situations, social stuff, and all that. 
There are 8 modules to be done in 12 weeks. Most modules are 1 week but for a couple you get 2 weeks. I try to catch up/get ahead when I can.
The books you'll be using are "Game Theory: A Nontechnical Introduction" by Morton Davis and "The Game's Afoot!" by Alexander Mehlman. In each module, you'll have video lectures to watch. They're about 30 minutes long and you get a link to where they're posted on YouTube. Professor Stevens, who does those, is really fun and engaging.
My professor for this course is Ramzi Salloum. He's not involved in the Discussion Forums, but if you have a question, just email him and he'll promptly send back a helpful reply. The lectures seem to do the main teaching for this course. The books are a little less important so far.
So, that's the basics about this course. I'm about a month into it and I'll post again soon.
