I actually dreaded doing the readings for this unit, which are long and tedious and the secondary-source readings tended to either popular science or ridiculous critical theory (the two-hour tutorials concentrate on these secondary texts). Tutorials were painful and the essay questions were bizarre (example: "Caligula's Horse!" - and that's it, that's the essay question). So not really a history unit at all - extremely little historical content and that which is given is very cursory. Marking was rather strange too, no one got any comments whatsoever. Avoid unless particularly interested in the topic or in dealing mainly with secondary sources, because the focus is really on these.
