STARCRAFT 101

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, a real college course in Berkeley that revolves around the rules and strategies of the game that we all know and love: Starcraft.  Yes, it is indeed a real class (I didn’t think it was either).  2 credit pass/fail course that was submitted and approved by the board, complete with homework assignments and game videos to watch for class.  Fcuking genius, I say!

And if you think it’s a cakewalk class, take a look at the final project:

“There will be a final project where students will present and explain their contribution to the Starcraft Community. This may take the form of an essay detailing new theory or calculations, or an in-depth analysis of a significant game. Whichever final project is chosen will be displayed or published on a public forum for peer criticism.”
