De-Cal Courses Through MCB
Planning for Spring 2010


Each semester, MCB sponsors several De-Cal courses, facilitated by UC Berkeley students. If you have an idea for a course that is relevant to MCB, in terms of subject matter taught, please follow the steps below to get started. (De-Cal offers start up workshops to help you.) Keep in mind that the deadline for spring 2010 applications must be in the MCB Undergraduate Affairs Office no later than Friday, October 23, 2009. (This is before our deadline to submit the application to the Academic Senate.)

For MCB de-CAL Facilitators

  1. You must be a junior or senior in order to facilitate an MCB de-CAL.
  2. There will be no more than two facilitators allowed for any single de-Cal course.
  3. All de-Cal facilitators will be required to meet with Christina Yasi when the forms are submitted, to review expectations for the semester.

Note that MCB has a slightly different set of guidelines than what is on the De-Cal web site.

  1. Download the Special Studies 98 and 198 Course Proposal Forms and the student checklist, review them to be sure that you are aware of the university regulations and policies, and prepare your course materials (syllabus, answer the 5 questions on the course proposal form).

  2. Download the appropriate MCB supplemental application (new course / repeated course) and fill it out.

  3. Find a faculty sponsor within MCB and take the materials to him/her for approval. If the course is new, you must also obtain approval from the UAC Chair, Sharon Amacher
    .
  4. Bring the completed paperwork to Christina Yasi, in the UAO, who will
    1. review it for accuracy to be sure it's complete,
    2. obtain remaining signatures (MCB Chair and UAC Chair, for repeated courses),
    3. request a room,
    4. send to the COCI before the deadline, and
    5. make copies for you to pick up and take to the De-Cal office (for their on line schedule).
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Christina Yasi in the UAO.
