You can now learn League of Legends at UC Berkeley
Have you ever stayed home from work or school to play your favorite video game? Is that video game League of Legends? The University of California is now offering a class in League of Legends. This comes not long after the announcement of collegiate teams.It is a completely legitimate class that was organized by students, and you actually get class credit for it. Cameron bates, the head organizer for the class, said that league has a reputation of being a ''grade destroyer'' which isn't exactly true. League of Legends helps you with your hand eye coordination, making quick descisions and react to them in a heart beat and leaves you constantly thinking throughout the entire game. Isn't that sort of what school is? Constant thought, learning and problem solving?

It is a completely legitimate class that was organized by students, and you actually get class credit for it. Cameron bates, the head organizer for the class, said that league has a reputation of being a ”grade destroyer” which isn’t exactly true. League of Legends helps you with your hand eye coordination, making quick descisions and react to them in a heart beat and leaves you constantly thinking throughout the entire game. Isn’t that sort of what school is? Constant thought, learning and problem solving?
I strongly feel that this will be something implemented into other schools, and I think it’s an absolutely brilliant idea. What are your thoughts on this? Would you take a course in League of Legends?
