Science and Science Fiction

Grading can be generous under some tutors like Alex, but harsh under others like Tim, who has been described as 'bad' by multiple students.

The workload is considered heavy, with numerous assignments including group presentations, essays, and quizzes. Lectures are not always necessary for a good grade.

Assessment breakdown includes a final exam (20%), one group presentation, one essay, and weekly tutorial participation. Quizzes based on content from the books are also part of the grading.

The teaching quality varies; some students find it engaging with tutors like Alex being praised for their helpfulness, while others describe Tim as a strict grader who is to be avoided.

Students suggest choosing short and richly discussed books for presentations, participating actively in tutorials, and working with strong humanities majors. It's also important to prepare thoroughly for the essay and presentation sections.
