Learning activities useless?

Hey guys. What do you guys think of the Grivas learning activity questions? Would it be a disadvantage to me in anyway if I skip them and instead focus on the Chapter review questions and questions from Checkpoints instead?

No, I don't think it would disadvantage you.

I remember those learning activities when we did year 11 psych, i thought they were useless too. You're prob better off with psych study guides and checkpoints? They won't hurt, of course.
Anyways, i cant really talk, since i thought the entire subject was useless and dropped it.
Happy enough after one hell of a year.

My psych teacher made us do them (she checked them like every 2 weeks) - while it was annoying I think doing learning activities was still great practice. Anyway, the more questions you can do, the more practice you'll have and that can only be a good thing :)

I never touched a question in that book! I think for psych it's basically learning the material and committing it to memory (understand it though). Then do practice questions, checkpoint questions and just the chapter review like you have said would be a much better use of time then wasting time on every exercise. :)

I don't think it'd disadvantage you, however I find some of them are good to consolidate the information. Also if you're doing an annotated folio as a sac they're pretty beneficial.
