UC버클리에는 스타크래프트 수업이 있다?

질문: UC 버클리에는 스타크래프트 수업이 있다 없다???

답: 있다. 그것도 경영학과에,

사실 decal이라고 해서 정규 수업은 아니고 2학점짜리 Pass/Fail 과목이다.

매주 2시간의 수업과 5시간의 실습(???)이 있고, 매주 2개의 리플레이를 제출하는게 숙제란다....
누가 장난으로 만든 건 줄 알았는데... 강의계획표가 너무 진지한 걸 보니 진짜 맞나보다...

도대체 뭘 가르치는지 한번 살펴보자

Course Description:

UC Berkeley students with an interest in real-time strategy games and the competitive gaming landscape are encouraged to participate in this class. 

This course will go in-depth in the theory of how war is conducted within the confines of the game Starcraft. There will be lecture on various aspects of the game, from the viewpoint of pure theory to the more computational aspects of how exactly battles are conducted. Calculus and Differential Equations are highly recommended for full understanding of the course. Furthermore, the class will take the theoretical into the practical world by analyzing games and replays to reinforce decision-making skills and advanced Starcraft theory.

Class will start with lecture and usually include a special discussion topic having to do with the day’s lecture to inspire new and original thought. At the end of lecture, there may be time to analyze student-submitted replays to illustrate a point or to improve analysis. Homework will be assigned at the end of each class and is due at the beginning of each lecture.

과목 설명:
미적분과 미분방정식을 통하여 스타크래프트를 이론적 관점에서 분석하고, 덤으로 수강생들의 리플레이 분석을 통해서 의사결정력을 키워준단다....

 

Course Learning Objectives and Goals:

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.

 

수업의 목표:
게임이론, 비판적 사고, 빠른 의사결정력을 습득하는 것.



Prerequisites:

Students should be familiar with all units and some basic StarCraft strategy. All students should of course enter the class with an open and analytic mind.

Starcraft: Brood War

학생들이 스타 유닛과 기본 전략은 알고 있다고 가정하고 수업을 진행할 것임

Attendance and Participation:

All absences must be excused (you should inform the course facilitators no later than the Friday before) and more than two absences will result in a grade of “No Pass.”  Please note that you will not be able to make up any work you missed during class and that new material will build on previous weeks’ instruction. Furthermore, there will be several pop quizzes graded based on completion given in class at a random time, and these will contribute to your participation score as well. It is also expected that students participate by asking questions and voicing their analytical suggestions during the instruction, and by practicing with others.

Course Workload:

Each week, students must submit 2 replays of games they played and are willing to analyze in depth. Students are expected to explain the flow of the game, identify the time of several positive and negative moves, and show an understanding of how to overcome mistakes in these replays. Some replays will be reviewed by the class together. These replays must be emailed to [e-mail] this subject title: First Name, Last Name, Week #. Submissions without that subject title will not be guaranteed to be filtered into the correct folder, and hence, we cannot guarantee that it will be graded. Grading for these replays will be on a credit/nocredit basis. In addition to submitting replays, there will periodically be homework assigned online due in class the following week.

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.

기말 프로젝트:

너무 진지해서 계속 웃기도 좀 그렇다. 왠지 수강생 대부분이 한국사람일듯한.. ㅋㅋㅋ
사실 스타에서 미적분이랑 미방을 어떻게 쓴다는 건지는 좀 궁금하기는 하다.


홈페이지에 가보니 세 번째 숙제가 나와있다.
그 중 제일 쉬워 보이는 두 번째 문제를 소개하자면,

성큰 1개 깰 때 마린 메딕의 최적 조합과 위치 선정은 무엇인가?

When engaging a sunken colony defense with marines/medics, what is the optimal unit
positioning when sending to attack? (consider unit formation and which units should be
sent in ahead of others)
