As an Adjunct Professor at USC, I held a 15 week course on video game level design on the Unreal Engine at the Viterbi School of Engineering.  The students designed a single player narrative level (minimum of 15 minutes) AND a multiplayer deathmatch or capture the flag level that had to be presented and played by the semester end.  They learned level design pre-production process commonly associated with AAA console games that covered design documenting, prototyping, navigation layout, placing AI, scripting events, lights, narrative and much more.
