P.S.

For a good time, check out the list of classes at Berkeley's student-generated program. Granted, these are created by students, so one would expect a certain amount of this sort of thing.

My favorite, and voted most likely to be adopted by the University as a permanent class:

ECOSYSTEMOLOGY



ESPM 98/198, 3 units
Tu/Th, 6:30-8:30, Location: steps of Wheeler until further notice
Course Description: A unique class covering epistemology, paradigms, systems thinking, perception, learning, thinking, complexity, transdisciplinarity, holism, reductionism, complementarity, modes of inquiry, making friends, ecology, perticipatory [sic] learning, and more!

Faculty Sponsor: Joe McBride
Course Coordinator: Sonya Hammons, Seth Frey, Julia MacRobbie



Close tie for first place:

THE SIMPSONS AND PHILOSOPHY



English 98/198, 2 units
Wed, 5:30-7:00 Room TBA
Course Description:This course will be a fun and unique approach to philosophy, through studying The Simpsons. Class meetings will consist of three components: lecture, discussion, and of course, watching episodes of The Simpsons. Attendance to the first class will be mandatory.
