Students in UC Berkley can take up this Starcraft course to earn credits. Yes, you ain’t hearing it wrong. There are homework which have to be submitted a detailed course material along with the syllabus and lesson plan.

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

Lol this is fake. I asked some Berkeley students and they said it doesn’t exist.

@Icystorm
thanks for clearing it up man. ;) but it will be a shocker if it were to be true xD
sorry to burst your bubble, icystorm, but it’s real lol
*Calls for National University of Singapore to open module for L4D appreciation*
*Playing L4D allows students to better appreciate the physics of the real world by observing flying body parts and helps in understanding the biological consequences of an highly pathogenic and infectious virus*
Think that will convince them? XD
@xyn: Well I Googled it, and it seems to be a NEW class, so maybe my friends didn’t know. This seems ridiculous.
