Comments
This course wasn't as bad as ARTS1090, but it wasn't amazing either. It seemed very promising at first, but gradually it gets so tedious -- especially the assessments.
I'll start wth the content: I will give points to the lectures and content in general for trying to be relevant with the 21st century, but that's about it. The discussion in tutorials could be quite interesting and it provoked deeper thought on current issues in relation to media consumption and activity based around it. On the other hand, the assessments were awful. There's nothing else to say about them but tedious and boring and I hated every second of the assessments. The good thing is instructions are clear but the actual act of writing them wasn't enjoyable whatsoever.
