H1 subjects
« on: December 02, 2014, 01:36:26 pm »

Hey, so I'm interested in taking a subject that many consider an "easy H1." Now, I am not doing this because I'm 'lazy' I actuallly have a valid and significnat reason for asking this question (obv quite personal) so please don't get the wrong idea. Anyway, I'd really appreciate any personal opinions (currently BA undergrad) about the breadths or any 'easy' subjects that you took. Hopefully, you managed to H1s in these!

I really do appreciate your help everyone :)
Sorry for the odd question.

Making Movies 1 is a piece of piss if you know how to take a photo. I probably spent 5 hours tops on the entire assessment of that subject and got a 93.

Feel free to shoot me a PM pertaining to getting to M.Eng through the Environments course, or the Envs/Eng courses in general.

The Secret Life of Language is a good subject if you want an H1. The assignments are easy to score very highly on if you collab on ideas with a friend (which is allowed), and the exam was not hard at all. I only had one night to study the whole course for the exam due to preceding subjects and I think I got an 83 on it (90 overall, and it's definitely not too hard to get a score like this, or higher). I hear the pre-2013 version was much harder in terms of the exam.

Thanks LeviLamp :) but I think I want a subject that DOESN'T involve much essay writing. I'm already majoring (Classics Latin/Ancient Greek) and minoring (Law and Justice) in two courses that are heavily essay based and I don't want to overload, particularly with the personal issues going on in my life right now. The most important thing is that I continue to maintain my 90s+ H1 average in all my subjects. I need to do something that's far more relaxing next year but still easy to do exceptionally well in, for the sake of health at least. It sounds awesome though LeviLamp :)


UPDATE: ALSO, do you think science subjects would be a bad idea? I do love looking at things like evolution etc....I guess this is directed towards BS students.
Or should I just stick to the music type of subjects? Anyone?
I heard Music Psychology is good.

I don't think LING10001 has any essay writing in it, if I'm not mistaken. Former students, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the take home assignments are problem-based. I am thinking about saving this subject until semester 2 third year.

Stick. Nah, I think it actually DOES involve essay writing, a few of my friends did the subject and didn't particularly like it :/

Really? I just checked the reviews and there seems to be no indication of any essay writing. Bummer, I was really interested in taking it. :/

Hey Stick :)

From the Handbook
Two research assignments: the first worth 40% (approx. 1500-words), due mid-semester; the second worth 60% (approx. 2500 words) due end of semester).

Not interested in essay writing subjects? Or is it too demanding?

OH SHIT! My apologies, haha. Sorry, I must've added a 2 instead of a 1 at the end. Yes, forget everything I said. And here we can see the dangers of fast typing without editing.

I was looking at this, which is the one a few of my friends did.

Haha, no worries! :P It seems very manageable which was why I intend to save it up until my last semester.

Definitely, that actually sounds pretty awesome! Not a fan of essay writing eh Stick? Is it just because it involves a lot of work...or...just hate essay writing in general?
