This is a P2P (Pathways to Pipelines) course. That means your learning is supported by optional game-based experiences tied to the course, including virtual, AR, and real-world activities such as scavenger hunts, clues, and community challenges. These activities are designed to increase engagement while offering additional opportunities to apply course concepts and extend critical thinking beyond the core subject matter. Most P2P details are intentionally discovery-based. The full rules, game systems, and the “worlds” where you can earn units are yours to explore through the Discord community. Ask questions, follow leads, and collaborate with others as you uncover how everything works. If you are not sure what “units” are, that is expected. In P2P, curiosity is part of the design. Treat that question as your first quest. PIPELINE CONTRACTS: During pipelines, contracts may be established between students and instructor(s) for units, work orders, or other agreements in which units are earned as compensation or applied toward assignments. This introduces another quest: discover more by asking around about the P2P Marketplace. Contracts are essential when working in a group to ensure that those who complete their assigned tasks are protected. Not sure how to create a contract? Congratulations, your next step is to check your Discord for guidance! Remember: these items grant abilities beyond the intended scope of the course, which is why discovery and exploration are left up to you.
Quizzes are contingent on Discord participation and peer support. If students actively help others on Discord when needed, quizzes will be waived and the quiz points will be automatically credited to the overall course score. If students are not willing to support one another when needed, quizzes will be reinstated and administered once per week.To activate the quiz-waiver option, students must present it to the professor as a simple contract agreement. Only approved contracts are valid.
The Final Project is an individual assignment by default. It is your chance to show creativity, make your own design choices, and demonstrate what you can build.You may choose to complete the Final Project as part of a group, but only if the group is formally organized. If you choose group work, these rules apply: Group formation: You choose the group size and members. Group lead required: Your group must appoint a lead (the lead may be a non-student). The lead sets participation requirements and assigns tasks. Member responsibilities: Each member is responsible for completing their assigned work as defined by the lead. Accountability: If a member does not complete their tasks, the lead may remove them from the group. If you are removed from a group, you may: Continue the Final Project individually, or Join another group (if that group accepts you). Contract requirement: A Final Project becomes a group project only if the group submits a simple written contract that lists members, the group lead, and expectations. Gatekeeper role during the Final Project: During this phase, the professor becomes the gatekeeper. The professor will maintain presence and verify standards, but will not serve as the source of answers. At this point, learners should operate in independent study mode, using resources, peers, and problem-solving to move forward.
Pipeline games are designed to give learners other opportunities through adventure. None of the games, units, or extra items presented as a pipeline game or web portal is required to take or pass this course. No pipeline game participation is required or necessary to successfully complete or understand elements of this course.
