I recommend that students take my first class called "Why Video Games Are Addictive - Avoiding Video Gaming Addiction by a Programmer" (which I have run daily) before enrolling in this class.
Here is the link for the first class:

https://outschool.com/classes/why-video-games-are-addictive-avoiding-video-gaming-addiction-by-a-programmer-Byn4e9Mu#us5GcmKQIx

In this class, I will teach my students why video games can become very easy to get addicted to and ways to get over a video game addiction.

Symptoms of video game addiction:
Are playing more than 1 hour of video games a day?
Are they becoming isolated from family and friends?
Are they lying to others about how often they play video games, and do they often play in secret?
Do they become upset and irritable when they’re not playing video games?
Are they neglecting work or school to play video games?
Are they avoiding activities they once enjoyed?
Are they skipping meals to focus on gaming?
Are they often tired because they’re not getting enough sleep?

The research will be provided from peer-review papers and research journals to prove how video games can have addictive qualities and the other side effects they can have on the mind and body if spent too long playing them. 
My students will also be taught a number of ways they are able to limit the time that they play themselves and use their time more productively.  

This is especially a class for all my students from my video game addiction class, as seen here:
