POSITIVES: Really interesting content. Lecturers were great. Tutorials were also good as you just learnt about report writing and did group work. Easy Exam. NEGATIVES: Marking is EXTREMELY tedious in group work, report, and presentation (marks to bell curve A LOT). Being assigned to a poor group will pull you down. You literally pull your groups research topic out of a hat and some topics are more difficult than others. So your half of your success in this subject is chance.

Beware of this subject if you aren't a fan of group work...With that being said, group assignments only count for a small proportion of your marks, and the content is quite interesting, so if you really enjoy Social Psych, don't be perturbed. The assessments are dull and boring but give you good practice at writing reports properly.

Great content, awful tutors. Steer clear of this course unless it's a requirement for your program.

This is legitimately the worst subject you could ever do in a Psychology degree. Terrible terrible tutors and rubbish feedback given on a group assessment that counts for almost 50% of your mark. If you get in a bad group, then you will get no higher than a credit. If you get a bad tutor, say hello to a pass. If you do well past those points, then say goodbye to a decent mark in the final exam, they quiz you on THE most irrelevant content. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Group work was not as bad as i thought it'd be. i actually worked with some fun kids. lectures were pretty interesting and worth coming to. final exam kind of hard but more than passable if you study well for it i think.

Ah, group work, the bane of university. However, don't be deterred from this unit just because of this - this unit really keeps everything fair and structured so you'll probably end up enjoying the group component instead. Final exam difficult as no possible SAQs given. However, for those thinking of going into honours, I would highly recommend as this is the one course they take you through EVERYTHING about how to write a good report (e.g. APA formatting, intro, method structure- if only this had been done in 1st year...)
