Course summary

Mixed

SOCI2071 — Criminology is generally seen as an interesting course with engaging content but a heavy workload. Students find the grading to be fair and say it's possible to get an A if you put in effort, though some struggle with the essay prompts and feedback from the professor. The course is recommended for those interested in criminology.

Grading

Grading appears to be fair; it's possible to get a good grade with sufficient effort, but some find the grading harsh due to unclear expectations and lack of constructive feedback.

Workload

The workload is considered heavy by some students, involving multiple essays, group projects, and participation in tutorials. Students spend around 10-12 hours per week on the course.

Assessments

Assessments include two 1500-word essays, one group project, class participation, and a final exam based on past papers. There are also occasional small tasks during classes.

Teaching

Teaching quality is mixed; some students find Professor Laidler engaging and helpful, while others feel her lectures are unhelpful and lack depth. The professor's teaching style impacts the overall experience significantly.

Tips

Participate actively in tutorials to improve your grade, as it can make a significant difference. Also, focus on understanding the course content thoroughly rather than just memorizing facts.
