Counter Course Handbook
The Counter Course Handbook is a new student run guide to University subjects, written from a student perspective. The handbook will tell you what students who have taken the subject thought of it. It will also give you advice on how to best do the subject. You will be able to read, for example, whether it is really necessary to buy the textbook, whether you need to attend all the lectures, and how much work you need to put in to do well on the assessments. We know that the University Handbook doesn’t provide all the answers. So we are helping students share information so that you can know in full what you’re getting into, and how to prepare for it, before the semester even begins.
The Counter Course Handbook is only made possible through the subject reviews that students do of their subjects. To contribute use the search form below to find past subjects, then open the subject to post your rating and review. If you can’t find the subject you’re looking for, let us know here and we’ll arrange to add it in.

Statement from @umsuindigenous:
TW/CW: mentions of Indigenous Death, Stolen Generations, Racism and Australia Day

"Leading up to January 26, we see the stores start to fill with all sorts of unnecessarily branded Australian merchandise. Thongs, bikinis, plastic flags, cups, BBQ accessories are all things we frantically try to avert our eyes from, while in our local shopping centres.
It’s a cruel reminder that the day is almost here.
Invasion Day marks a pain that will never really leave us, it is a reminder of the slaughters that have been deliberately left out of the pages of history books. It is a reminder to the people that will never know where they came from because their grandparents and ancestors were stolen from the arms of their parents. It is a reminder that the nation that we are now citizens of refuses to acknowledge or repent for the racialised actions of its past and present.
In a nation that insists it is built upon ideals of mateship and diversity, it becomes increasingly clear that those notions are only bestowed upon the ‘good Australian’. The one that believes in the stories of the underdog and plight of the convict. Those that celebrate their ancestors coming to a strange new land in search of wealth and opportunity.
I am not a ‘good Australian’, nor do I strive to be one. In order to fulfil this stereotype, you must turn a blind eye to violence and injustice and hold an unquestionable belief in the goodwill of the government. You are an active participant in ‘fun-loving Aussie racism’..."
