From what I understand, it's student taught, not professor taught

What the hell was the professor doing during that then. I hate this recent trend of professors not doing their work with the excuse of "delegating". When I was getting my master's none of my professors even read their own syllabus, they just assigned each student some random paper from pubmed and sat back as each student gave a presentation.

I have not actually done research to see if this is the case, but I know that Cal does a thing where they occasionally have short (like, 1 or 2 week seminars) organized, led, and taught by students on a variety of topics that wouldn't necessarily be considered for full classes. For fun and to learn about weird stuff, basically, so you could have classes on a ton of niche topics. And I'm comfortable assuming that this was one of those.

Berkeley has a whole subset of classes like this that are student taught. Professors are not involved.

And people are paying tutation for something they could basically get from meeting together with a bunch of uneducated strangers and chatting with them about the internet?

Yep. And from what I know of the people that go to that school (because I've been out of school for many a year and have never been further west than Detroit) is that they love these classes (on a wide variety of subjects) and were afraid that this would cause the university to shut them down.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-11 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
I had heard the quality of university classes had gone down, but this is just ridiculous. How does the university even justify making them pay hundreds of dollars for these classes?

(Anonymous) 2015-03-11 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
seriously dude go read something about how the system works instead of just getting outraged based on people here telling you about it

sheesh

(Anonymous) 2015-03-11 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I've read the bullshit explanations universities use. My own university tried to use a similar system a few years back, but at least they had the sense of assigning professors who had to watch over the classes to ensure the material being taught wasn't total crap.

I don't know, one of the best classes I took in college was put together by a graduate student. Sexual revolutions of the 1920s, 1960s, and 1990s. Brilliant class, great readings. (Mae West rocked!)
