FL Sun/SOVA Gal -
The project was a case study. You just had to make recommendations - write a paper only, no presentation. The paper was what you learned from your experiences in Australia. And the test were questions from what the lectures were about, but it was open book/laptop. You submitted answers on Moodle. NOTHING like any of the other classes. Pretty laid back. Definitely not James' MKT class! I knew not to take her as I went to LSUS for undergrad. :)
I spent 2 days in Sydney, flew to Sunshine Coast to go to the Australia (Steve Irwin) zoo (a dream of mine since I was 5 or so), took train next day to Brisbane to see a cousin who was working there, skydived the next day, went back to Sydney and had to check in the next day (Sunday). While in Sydney on my own, I went to the Australia Museum, saw the Christmas Lights on St. Mary's Cathedral (look it up, pretty cool), went to Sydney Zoo and Aquarium, the Opera House (have to do tour to actually go in and see the inside), took a tour bus around the city to different places.
The GBR was awesome! I got certified to scuba dive before I went. So I was able to scuba dive. They will give you a short "how-to" on how to scuba dive on the boat, or you can snorkel. Then the next day you go on a day trip through the rain forest of Cairns. Then you fly home the next day (3rd day).
The other things you can do while there, and they will send you information, is climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge (highly recommend), surf camp (I did it - only do if you're a hippie type person; I never though of myself as high maintenance until that camp), and then they have a walking tour they did over by "The Rocks" that I enjoyed. It was very interesting - they talked about how they first founded Australia, etc.
That's all I can think of for now.

Hi FL Sun,
Cin8 and I did the study abroad together. I personally went early and spent about a week in Australia before the class started. You stay in dorms that were pretty nice IMO. There is no course work to do before the class. We had a group project we had to do while there, a paper to write, and a test. There were activities you could do throughout the week. I also did the extra excursion after the class was over to the Great Barrier Reef. I personally had a blast in Australia, but I could see how a lot of people would think it's a lot of money to just go there and be lectured to. So I am happy I went early and went to several other cities.
There were also undergrads that we were mixed in with for lecture, however we stayed in the same dorms but we roomed only with LSUS students. As far as the actual accommodations, you should be prepared to supply your own paper towels, you are supplied with 1 towel and 1 washcloth, there is laundry on campus, a shopping center very close, and "breakfast" is provided. Breakfast meaning cereal and fruit.
If you go, and you go early, I can let you know what I did, and what's worth it and what's not. Let me know what other questions you have.
