Describe your VCE subjects in five words

Potentially useful for future students in selecting their subjects. :D

For me:

English Language: should be called "Linguistics"- fantastic.
Business Management: personally, content was dry, uninteresting.
Visual Communication Design: time-consuming, but rewarding with effort.
Further Maths: requires repetition at high end.
Health & Human Development: interesting content, formulaic question response.
Psychology: content-heavy, but not conceptually difficult.
