[citation][nom]hellwig[/nom]It sounds like this is a community-college like course, not applicable towards graduation. I mean, at my college, I took a semester of Golf (thats right, the thing with the clubs and the little white ball). That didn't mean it applied towards my necessary credits, it was just something to do for fun. There were lots of student-run courses, rock-climbing, martial arts, etc.., and they were all just for fun.Now, if this Starcraft course could be applied to say, a Computer Science degree, then that would be ridiculous. But they would probably also lose their accreditation.[/citation]
Did you miss the part where the article said it was recommended the students know calculus and differential equations. That relatively advanced mathematics, not to mention differential equations in specifically intended for applications dealing with populations (it's some really complex sh*t). So this has little in common with your Golf class, they'd probably have to do quite a bit of homework.
