54000: Citizenship and Communication

Annotations of readings (20%), 1500 word essay (30%), New Society Board Game (50%)

Really there's nothing you need to know! Although if you had some understanding of how democracy works that would be helpful as well as different political parties and ideologies. Otherwise you just learn it which is fine!

Some parts of this subject are very interesting as it explores how young people can be active citizens in their local community. The one criticism of this subject would be the board game assessment which was intended to be fun but really wasn't - it was too hard to try make a board game on politics that contained theory fun. As hard as our tutor tried, the majority of our tutorial stayed quiet during class discussions so that made the tutorials pretty boring at times too.

One weekly 45 minute lecture and 2 hour tutorial.

No but there are powerpoint slides put up on UTS online.

I have some notes but this subject did not require much note-taking at all. The lectures were relatively self-explanatory. Most notes would apply to information from tutorials.

3/5

No textbooks! Just weekly readings which can be accessed via UTS Library online.

No idea! We haven't got all our results back and don't do exams either.
