After the game both go grab something to eat together. Haha. Seems like a fun course, but is it worth using education $ for Starcraft? =o........Gonna get flamed.
do you not understand how credits work?
on the semester system you pay a flat tuition rate from 12-18 units. most standard courses that fulfill major/minor requirements are 4 units apiece. most people take 4 courses, meaning that they have 2 extra units left over. you might as well use it on something you are highly interested rather than wasting it.

I'm from Canada, and the program I'm taking is different in the way credits are distributed. So, no, I do not understand how credits work. Thanks for telling me how it works though. And from what I read, since this is student run there won't be a cost, which is pretty awesome. Good luck to everyone taking this course!

i need credits now that i dont want to take class MWF.
lol, time to own the shit out of everyone in the class and then get owned by sherwin. T_T

As someone who wants to see esports grow, this decal sounds really exciting. I wish I was around Cal to see how this turns out.
I just wanted to say, I know someone (actually quite a few people) who have taught decals before. You should expect a HUGE number of people on the first day of class (even more so because this is STARCRAFT). There's no way everyone who wants to take this course can sign up. What did my friend do? He asked people to write a short essay explaining why they should be enrolled over other people.
Just a thought, should the situation come up.
Good luck with this class! Props to you guys for spreading the awesomeness of starcraft in a positive light!

Yes, at Berkeley we can take a max of 20 units but a normal course load is ~15 units.
BTW Nimue will there be a site on decal.org? I'm assuming that just because its not listed there doesn't mean its not approved?

no, it's been approved and listed by Haas School of Business, which is separate from just simple Letters and Science where you were looking.
There's no way we could have gotten that gorgeous room reserved for us without really really official approval.

you need to ban the people in the class from TeamLiquid...its basically cheating if they go to this site lol
force them to watch old vods to find out for themselves!
LMAO same for me. Since I'm the only guy in my group that plays SC (they don't play cause they're scrubs  ), I'm the only one that gets sent the links. At least 5 friends have told me about already

Holy crap, have you guys seen some of these comments?
"Berkeley= another liberal bastion contributing to the dumbing down of America. Whatever happened to Science, Math, and English? Our educational institutions are turning into State fairs and lan parties with hidden Political agendas filling the young minds into thinking they should be the next revolutionary and to go out an protest this and that"
How much more ignorant can you get. Sometimes I wish I were a mutalisk so I could shoot some of these people.

That is a really weird way of doing things. In Canada you only pay for the courses you are taking, not some flat rate bullshit.

Thanks for the tip, we're planning to do something like that. I just hope we dont get as many people as I'm afraid we're gonna get lol, otherwise we'll need a bigger room.

lol @ jwd241224's blog
one way to make the class smaller...
divide class into 2 groups, have an all kill tournament.
winning group gets to stay.
i pay flat rate for tuition except it increases every quarter...dam economy.
