Students are required to have this pre-requisite of knowing the basics of this game.

As quoted from the site for the course objectives:

What may look like complex topics are just ways we want you to think more deeply about the game to derive a greater satisfaction from playing. Furthermore, this understanding should have applications in real life, to further synthesize new information from limited inferences. The primary goal is for students to learn, enjoy the art of competitive StarCraft, and have fun. Overall, students will be applying critical thinking, quick decision-making, and game theory skills throughout the sessions. Students will also learn what to look for in a replay or game to learn most effectively.

Wow,  a course on starcraft.  I wonder if we ever get to have such kind of lesson plan in Singapore. :P
