The subject is really dull. The content is easy and nothing gets particularly difficult which is pretty much the only redeeming thing about the subject. The lecturers are completely different every week and their notes vary drastically in quality. There are compulsory tutorials every week which are painfully awkward and aren't engaging at all. There are readings which you have to do and need to take notes on because they're assessed. The forum report is relatively easy and was overall a pretty good assignment. The research essay was marked more harshly and the marking was sort of ambiguous. The exam is pretty frustrating as it is essentially a test of what facts you've chosen to write in your notes. There's no critical thinking involved and it's just a matter of regurgitating the correct information which honestly makes it hard to do well in. I wouldn't recommend this subject if you're looking for a chill breadth to complete.

This subject is ok. My biggest problem with it is that there is a new lecturer every week and they all have different styles of teaching. But the tutors are nice and and the content is not too bad if you are interested. I would not want to do this subject again tho as I did not find it that interesting.

About as average as you can get. Subject was poorly run and a few of the lecturers were awful, but FFAHP is an easy H1 as long as you watch every lecture and make decent notes. Literally just paraphrase the lecture slides for the final exam and you'll be fine. Content was pretty dry, but easy to understand. WAM booster as long as you're willing to sacrifice brain cells.

This subject was decent, overall. The content was interesting, although it did get somewhat repetitive by the end of the semester. Some of the areas that we focused upon heavily were climate change, the consequences of consuming meat, the basis of a healthy diet, and the discrepancies in food quality between developed and developing countries. The lecturers changed frequently - some were amazing, and others were less so. It's very important to keep up to date with the content, as we were required to submit answers to weekly questions regarding the lecture content learned. I personally had a very disappointing experience with the grading of my Forum Report (a key piece of assessment), so I would highly recommend to seek feedback from your tutor and get them to convey their specific expectations for this assessment! However, I found the MST and the final exam rather straightforward and fair, although a little time-pressed. Please note that the multiple choice section of the exam, as others have said, did at times assess highly random and specific details from lectures that were inconsequential at the time of teaching. I would agree that this subject appears to be 'easy' on the outside, however, don't be fooled by its exterior. The H1 I received required a lot of hard work in creating comprehensive notes, participating in tutorials and completing weekly questions.

Definitely not a WAM if you’re an international student who's really bad in writing! Also, lectures are quite boring if you do this subject online

If you think this is a wam booster, you're wrong. My goodness, this subject is chaotic, to say the least. Random research papers collated and then labelled as the 'readings' for this subject. Random lecturers each week with completely different ways of teaching/format of lecture slides. Everything is, in the simplest terms, messy and inconsistent. Even the MC section of the exam was just general knowledge! Don't get me started on the tutors.

A really interesting subject to do, definitely requires effort to get a good score (but definitely achievable)! Really great tutorials and lectures, a diverse variety of topics were covered. Recommend to anyone who's willing to put in the effort!

I enjoyed the content in this subject, but I agree that it requires a lot of effort if you want to do well. A H1 is definitely achievable if you put in the effort but it's not a bludge like I thought it would be. They cover so much content and expect you to know fine details for the exam (like a random statistic that was said halfway through Lecture 11). For this reason, I sat in the exam very grateful that I had my notes with me for multiple choice. Definitely interesting and easy to understand, but don't do this subject if you want a breadth you can sleep through.

WARNING! This subject demands a lot of effort- probably more than some core subjects. Certain tutors were also unwilling to help, and having to do 1 research paper and not getting the feedback before submitting the 2nd was very annoying. Certainly not an easy subject, and content was heavy. The exam also requires you know the weekly reading fairly well.

Not really a well coordinated subject. Having different lecturers every week for different topics makes it inconsistent with the content, and the quality of teaching differs substantially. Plus it was an unfair treatment for students this semester due to the transition to online campus, they changed the MST to another written assignment which is similar to the Forum Report, just with a different topic. Not much guidance is given nor a feedback for the first assignment is given before you start the second one. In fact in a short period of time you have to work on both simultaneously. They could've just carry on with the test instead since finals will be online anyway. Overall, subject content is interesting in some way and I managed to secure a H1, but the structure and coordination of the subject was disappointing.
