Dear Cal Learners,
We hope that this email finds you well!
The SLC Strategic Learning Program is thrilled to announce our newest format of service: Group Academic Coaching!
This format brings together students, like you, who work in tandem to develop key learning skills, habits, and strategies while tapping into the power of peer accountability and community with fellow learners.
This semester, group academic coaching will be focused on supporting you to “Plan It. Prioritize It. Achieve It: Pushing Towards the Final Stretch.” Through this six week group coaching series, you will be able to focus on building your skills of time management & planning to navigate the second half of the semester and to finish Spring 2025 strong. You will set goals, explore strategies, and reflect on your progress in a supportive community.
We will be offering two cohorts of Group Academic Coaching during Spring 2025 on Mondays, 2 - 3 pm and Thursdays, 1 - 2 pm between Week of March 31 - Week of May 5.
The first step to joining this service is by signing up for an Orientation at bit.ly/slp-gac. After the Orientation, you will have an opportunity to decide whether you would like to commit to the six weeks of Group Academic Coaching.
Even though finals are still half a semester away, now is the time to set yourself up for success in the final stretch!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to strategiclearningprogram@berkeley.edu with any questions!
Warmly,

This course explores fundamental topics in moral and political
philosophy and also provides an introduction to philosophical reading,
writing, and argument skills. It seeks to address questions such as: How
can I lead a meaningful life? How should we relate to others? Is morality
objective? What makes a society just?

The Nature of Mind (Phil 3)
We use the concept of the mental in our everyday thought and talk; we take
ourselves and others to have mental states like thoughts, feelings, perceptions,
desires. But what exactly are we talking about when we talk about our minds?
What’s the relationship between our minds and our bodies? How does mentality
fit into the rest of the natural world, and how can it be studied scientifically?
We’ll investigate these questions from a variety of different angles, looking at
how they’ve been treated in the past, and evaluating them by our own lights.

Knowledge and it’s Limits (Phil 4)
We navigate life assuming we know certain truths. But have you ever stopped to
ask: What really is knowledge? Should you trust everything you hear? How much
should new evidence change your confidence in a belief? And what should you do
when someone challenges what you think you know? Welcome to the fascinating
world of epistemology, the branch of philosophy that explores the nature of
knowledge, belief, and truth.

Introduction to Logic (Phil 12A)
In this course, we will cover the syntax, semantics, and proof theory of

everyday reasoning.

Ancient Philosophy (phil 25A)
This course is an introduction to ancient Greek philosophy, focusing
primarily on Plato (427-347 BCE) and Aristotle (384-322 BCE). We will also
discuss the Pre-Socratic philosopher Parmenides and three major schools
of Hellenistic philosophy, Epicureanism, Stoicism, and Pyrrhonian Skepticism.

Modern Philosophy (phil 25B)
This course dives into the revolutionary ideas of early modern philosophy
(17th–18th centuries), a period that shattered over a thousand years of
philosophical tradition. As science upended medieval worldviews, radical
thinkers reimagined fundamental questions: What is the mind? What are the
limits of knowledge? What is a person? Their bold ideas reshaped philosophy,
laying the groundwork for the questions we still wrestle with today. To
understand contemporary thought—and the nature of intellectual revolutions—
we must first explore the minds that sparked them.
