UC Berkeley offers Starcraft Course

Here's the main site to DeCal classes at Berkeley.

There are lots of fun classes, from learning about James Bond, Star Trek, Fight Club, The Simpsons, to Second Life (yes the online game). These are all student operated and professor sponsored; I've taught one before Linkified.

This course sounds it would be a fun filler course to take to fill yourself up to the max units you are paying for (similar to the weightlifting, soccer, sailing, etc courses colleges have).

Ah fuck, now I'll never be able to get into RTS games. The bar will be set far too high.

it's not a "real" class, only a Decal.

its a student run course. ppl who are at college, check with your university, they probably have something similar. i took a mindstorms class, a halo 2 class, and a juggling class...

Wow, thats some really hardcore game analysis they plan on doing. I don't think the designers even went through this much depth when assigning unit attributes etc.

Wonder if "pwned," "n00b" etc would be acceptable language in the essay. Anyone on these boards actually taking this class?

Youtube video of the class (90 minutes) for anyone who really feels the need to see what it was about.

DECAL classes are student created, student designed, student taught, don't count towards any major, and aren't worth as many credits as regular, professor-taught courses. Just as an FYI.
