About the Course
Sydney. Australia was ‘claimed’ for the British Crown in 1770, by Captain James Cook, but the invasion began in earnest when the First Fleet of
British arrived in 1788 and established a penal colony in Sydney. As a consequence Sydney is a city rich in diverse pre-colonial, colonial and
contemporary sites of significance to Aboriginal peoples. Too often though our perceptions about Aboriginal peoples consign them to an ancient
past or perpetuates stereotypical imaginations that Aboriginal peoples live in remote communities (Hinkson, 2010). At the h...

A valuable and hugely informative course. I am new to Australia and this course has helped me to understand many of the complex issues to do with the land's identity; past, present and future.

This course was very helpful in providing an Aboriginal perspective and provoking one's own reflections on culture and colonialism and its accompanying problems.
I apprciated that the content was presented by a variety of community members and the notes were not just printed form the transcripts but were connections to bothe community links / sites as well as to some academic papers. This combination was valuable.
It was also appropriate, given the topic, that the assignments required participation and personal reflection as well as peer reviews.
Occassionally a link was not available or was out of date. I did once get a comment re. a late submission but in fact only one assignment was available for review instead of the two required to complete the assignment. Perhaps a software tweek to accommodate that event.

Very informative course, however the more detailed and academic resources were often broken links at the time I am writing this review. Though they were often suplimental, I see the readings as critical for filling in the more lightweight content presented via video.

Reading times are not good estimates for how long it will take to read working. This made scheduling the course into a study plan tricky. Some weeks had very lengthy reading recommendations. The readings were however very insightful.

The content is good and the assessments make you think, but the wording of the assessments don't match the marking guidelines which seems like a silly oversight that means people may not get the results they expect.

I enjoyed learning about the experience of indigenous in Australia. A few of the links for the recommended reading were broken however.

was unable to see my feedbacks to my assignments, unable to know if and when I had submitted the assignments. would have liked to know what my true marks were with the assignment that was graded. I would have like to learn more about the aboriginal history, culture and strives. I felt I missed alot from this course and was unable to get any information or help.
