Score is given harshly and little knowledge is taught. Tutors are not professional

This was the worst unit I have done so far at uni. The content holds up until about week 4 or 5, then just becomes recycled and touches on the same themes over and over. The assessments are extremely basic so the marking was extremely harsh and feedback made little sense. The new teaching staff that came in halfway through the course acted like they didn't want to be there, and for some weeks gave only a 30 minute lecture for what was supposed to be 2 hours of content. Very unimpressed overall.

Was not a fan of this subject and I would not recommend it for Media and Communications majors. Overall it was politics heavy and I know like, duh, it's a politics subject, but what I mean by that is that it sort of failed to express the media industry incorporated with politics. From the subject description it gave the impression that it would tackle useful subject matters such as contracts, public relations, matters of legal issues presented within the media but we mostly just studied about fake news (so repetitive), partisanship, and democracy.

Loved this subject! Content was highly insightful and straightforward. Assessments were also very comprehensive and easy to understand. Sheilla (tutor) is an absolute gem. I came into this subject having absolutely no idea about how the news regime worked, and I leave with so much knowledge and insight about how it operates. The curriculum is relevant and exciting. If you're questioning whether or not to do this subject, seriously just go for it.

Really enjoyed the content in this subject! I'd recommend doing this if you're interested in discussing current events and/or media and communications. I agree that the lectures could be a little repetitive, but I feel like the tutorial discussions were always really interesting regardless of that.

Interesting and highly relevant content - assessments were quite straightforward but engaging to complete. Lectures could be a little repetitive but were worth my time, I got a lot of insight from Sally (lecturer) and by the end of the course I had a clear understanding of the key theories and issues we covered.
