wow. you make it sound really good. which is kind of a bummer, because now i want to get into all six of my top six preferences.
in regards to workload, what are we talking here? like an approximate hours/ week breakdown?
thanks!!!!

okay honestly no bullshit.. psychology 1 this is what i did and i got high distinction
1. listened to lecture tapes (never went to any of my lectures) wrote down extra notes on the lecture slides they give us... and then i typed those up and then i made sure i understood concepts (just like the hsc notes we make)
2. psychology 2- i got lazier this semester.... i didn't touch psychology at all until 3 weeks before exams, i listened to all lecture tapes wrote down notes on lecture slides but i didn't type them up or anything... then didn't touch the notes after that... 3 nights before exams u get a study buddy and u go through the whole course... (make sure u understand concepts etc) and bam i got a distinction
but make sure u do well in ur assessments... for psychology one i didn't get anything below a high distinction ... and for psychology 2 i didn't get anything higher or lower than a distinction and they're really just for psychology 1 is one essay and one quiz and then exams
then psyche 2 is one half report and one full report and then exams
bad thing about psychology subjects is that u have to pass the final exam in order to pass the unit... even if u got high distinctions in ur assessments
any other questions??
heres a tip for psychology... make sure u buy the study guide for writing essays and reports (its VERY different to writing reports and essays at highschool) i spent about 2 weeks writing a 1200 word essay and i got a HD for it whoo hoo so yeah be prepared to work hard on assessments understanding material is the fun bit
