Hate it, it’s a wam destroyer, wanted to get an H1 but ended up with a 76. Essays are hard to score high in. Should’ve taken something easier, but if you want to get subjects done and over with then recommend. It’s easy to get 70+ but hard to score high

Not sure what the other review for this semester was about TT Quizzes were super easy to get 4/4 (though I heard a couple of people complaining). You just have to make sure you are reading the documents/watching lectures beforehand. Think basic reading comp. questions - there was the be direct evidence in the paper to support your answer or the answer is wrong, you can't infer anything that isn't stated really... Only struggle was the essay, which is oddly structured and there really isn't direction given for it.

0/5, subject is extremely boring. Took it cause it was a wam booster, quizzes aren’t straightforward, not easy to get 4/4 correct per week, essay is difficult, regret taking it, rather than being a wam booster, it just hurts your wam.

Easy to get H1. I got 86. But the final assignment is difficult. It is like a science subject

Great subject. Not too difficult, easy to get a H1. Well organised.

Did this in 2020 (aka the new study design, I think reviews from 2018 and below may be based on a different study design?). This subject is pretty chill due to low number of hours needed in it. You have weekly MCQ tests based on lectures but sometimes these felt more like reading comprehension tests than actual tests of the content. Still can score well in them though. Kat did a practise tutorial for the final assignment each week, so if you just watch all of these (I crammed them 2 weeks before the assignment), you get a really good feel for what they’re looking for. It can be a bit hard though because there was no sample essay. The coordinators do live Q and A sessions to answer your assessment questions though which were really helpful. I would take this subject again, but that said the content didn’t feel super applicable and I didn’t learn as much as I normally do in other subjects, but it’s not a bad breadth if you want something low in hours. Wouldn’t say it’s an easy H1 but possible for sure, just use all of the resources and go the the Q&As.

Yeah I'm not a fan of this subject. Only reason I'd say Music and Health is a better subject is because I got a H1 straight up. It's just such a waste of time and money doing subjects for WAM, don't even bother. Put some effort into a halfway useful subject and you'll be immensely more satisfied at the end.

if i could turn back time and choose a different breadth to do, i would. content is dry and they expect you to write about music psychology like you've dedicated half your life to it. final assignment is difficult, even if you follow the content throughout the semester. not sure if this is just my semester but they were so technical about the final essay, expecting too much.. if you're only thinking about doing this subject for a wam booster, don't. LOL only got h2b worst subject of my semester xo

A sure H1 subject that also offers good insight about the links between music and psychology that you'll be able to apply to real-life scenarios! :) win-win situation!

One of the most enjoyable and relaxed subjects I have done. The content was fascinating and I found that I could apply some of the things I had learned to real-life scenarios. Assessments were straightforward and easy and the lecturers were generally great and passionate about what they were teaching. Definitely a must-do for those interested in music and/or psychology.
