3) Teach a DeCal
If you could create your own college course, what would it be about? Would it explore the ethical dilemmas and medical possibilities of CRISPR? Or examine the historical influences and musical impacts of bachata?
No matter what topic you would choose, you have the opportunity to turn your passions into a full-fledged college class by creating a DeCal, or Democratic Education at Cal, course! DeCal is a unique opportunity for you to share your knowledge and further investigate an intellectual interest with fellow UC Berkeley undergraduates. By creating your own DeCal course, you will have a hand in expanding Cal’s curriculum as well as make an impact on the educational journeys of your peers.
Want to create a DeCal but don’t know where to start? The SLC Undergraduate Course Facilitator Training & Resources (UCFTR) program is here to support you! Partner with UCFTR to get started on your DeCal proposal process, complete mandatory training for DeCal facilitators, and explore strategies for effective DeCal facilitation. Check out UCFTR’s services in the attached flyer and sign up for our email listserv to receive updates throughout the semester.
Email us at slc-ucftr@berkeley.edu if you have any questions, and we look forward to partnering with you on your DeCal creation process!
