Title: New to Psychology
Post by: costargh on November 05, 2007, 07:38:23 pm
I'm picking up 3/4 next year... should I do some work from Units 1/2 to catch up/prepare?

The teacher in charge of studies @ my school encouraged me to pick it up and said that I might just have to look @ 1 or 2 chapters from Unit 1/2 to prepare....

your thoughts?

Well what you might like to look at before starting units 3 and 4 would be research methods and the brain and nervous system... that's about it really, everything else you will learn in units 3 and 4 (take it from someone who didn't do psychology units 1 and 2) :)

Good Luck

Is the concept easy to pick up?

Apparently I should do alright in Psychology because its similar studying habits to Legal (I do 3/4 this year) ... as opposed to a subject such as Literature which I am dropping.

Just a lot to remember hey?

Lol it's alright, but i think the best thing would be to write a few practice ones, just so you get the hang of them...

Psychology is mostly remembering definitions and facts, but you do need to apply your knowledge to some cases (giving examples) ...

So good luck with that :)

I probably wish I didn't do psychology this year, should have done physics or specialist... but oh well, psychology isn't for everyone :)
