One of the beautiful things about going to one of the premiere schools for open thought and free thinking is that teaching and learning is thought to be one and the same.  A democratic educational system that allows students to teach other students about subjects that really matter, DeCals offer some of the most intriguing classes around.

And fortunately, (or unfortunately, if you're a party pooper like that), what really matters to students is the fact that "Boba Fett was the last descendant of the Mandalorian clan lords who terrorized the Old Republic 25,000 years before Star Wars Episode One."

Of course, the Berkeley standards such as Female Sexuality, Conflicts in the Middle East and Cinema of Repression and Resistence are still there.  But new classes (with new, spangly titles, natch!) are bound to gain popularity.  Hell, with names like "Talkin' Tobacco", and "Funk-A-DeCal: A pre-History of Hip Hop", people will probably sign up just to find out what exactly "pre-History" is.

And the beauty of all of this is that your classes are taught by the people closest to the subjects.  Who better to learn about Radiohead than a grunge loving hipster?  And the whole sleep-with-your-professor-for-an-A thing?  I'm willing to bet that your chances are a lot better in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Analysis" than "Chem 10A".  Cheers!
