Student reviews and ratings
Summarised from 5 students on StudentVIP (2016–2025)
- A Eurovision-based look at European culture, history and politics; reviewers from 2016 to 2025 found it fun, relaxed and surprisingly informative, and no prior knowledge of the contest is needed.
- It is often called an easy WAM booster, but don't skip study for the early test: a lot of content is covered, though all of it is in the lecture slides.
- In 2025 the recorded presentation had a clear rubric, but the essay choice of open questions came with no rubric or examples. Earlier reviewers (2016–2018) mentioned staff struggling with classroom technology.
