Turned me off doing psychology. Loads of content and babying. No room for curiosity or thought. Just memorise and recite and do what I say for the research report.

Even though I wasn't a fan of one of the lecturers the unit overall was really interesting. The research report really isn't that bad if you closely follow the guidelines they give for it.

Not a bad course overall. The personality lectures were very dry and confusing. Start the research report early - can't stress this enough!

just dont take it if you aim for an easy HD. the mean score for the research report this year is only 50%. The quizzes are sometimes not based on the lectures. also, personality lectures are so confusing in my opinion

not what you think it is. theres alot of learning about history of psychology and studies that makes you realise how messed up everyone is. they also force you to spend 5h of your time doing studies for 5% of the mark lackluster course

The subject itself is interesting and the lecturers were good but it's VERY fast-paced, everything is so crammed! If you're not organised or don't attend lectures you're screwed. The assignment is pretty bs, the exam annoying, tutorials were a waste of time but that probably depends on your tutor... Wouldn't recommend it as a filler subject. Do it if you genuinely want to pursue psych. I don't really feel like I got anything out of it in the end of the day, kinda made me lose interest in psych in general but that's just my experience.

I think the content in this subject was really fun and interesting overall. However, I have some issues with the lecturers. The personality and emotion lecturers were disengaging and made interesting topics boring and unenjoyable through their bland delivery. Also, Caleb Owens can be funny but occasionally rude and arrogant. Excellent course, just some bad lecturers...

a pretty boring subject on the whole, but did have it's moments.. the unit coordinator Dr. Caleb Owens is an absolute man-child and frequently throws full-blown tantrums in lectures. "waa waa I'm an important white man listen to me waa waa" - Dr. Caleb Owens

Wonderful unit of study, extremely well organised. Only issue was with personality - the lecturer was very dry, but this is personal opinion. Every other lecture series was engaging. Exam was actually not as bad as I expected, and research report is MUCH easier than is made out....if you start early!

No complaints with the lecturers - in particular, Frans was excellent. However, the unit coordinator Dr. Caleb Owens is the single worst academic-administrator I've ever had in 2 1/2 years of university. Rude, brusque, and marked research reports waaaay too harshly. Definitely made me question the faculty, as he has received complaints before.
