had prior experience with revs and y11 history which made it a bit dry at first since the content was similar but still liked the subject since the last few weeks had interesting topics that i wouldn't have learnt about. assignments were okay.. for the essay we had to choose a question from a list and the selection was quite good. exam wasn't too bad either. just hard to get a high mark depending on ur tutor (finished with a h2b) wouldn't necessarily say its a wam booster but if u put in the work it's not hard to do decent in.

I thoroughly enjoyed this subject when I took it. I went into it with a further interest in history following Revs and I wasn't disappointed. I found the lecture topics interesting, and tutorial discussion was engaging. Good as a WAM booster if you enjoy history and you're willing to put in the work.

great subject!! Good content, engaging lecturer, nice tutors. Good first year subject - will teach you lots of useful research skills.

did this cuz of experience in year 11 history, but i was quite surprised to have learnt many new things. the subject overall was pretty interesting, the part on orientalism is probably my favourite!! the assignments are not that bad, but some tutors might mark very harshly

2019 lecturer (hannah) was awful, just spent the whole time reading her notes aloud, which was not engaging. Subject was difficult to do well in and advice from tutors was vague and unhelpful. Subject was interesting in content and readings though

Content was really interesting (except maybe the week on economics), and I found the lectures really collaborative and inclusive. However, I did study most of this content briefly in high school and I feel like if you haven't, it's gonna be pretty tough to get a good grade

Great content and lectures were good, but the tutorials weren't too helpful and assignment feedback was useless

The course content was really interesting but lectures could be quite dense. Tutorials were quite helpful in unpacking all the material. I especially enjoyed the assignments which allowed you to focus on your areas of interest (topics were very varied!).

Lectures can be boring at times but overall a good overview of postwar history.
