Printing the Study Design?

[cherryblossoms]

Hey, I'm planning to use the study design to write my notes. This is an odd question  , but should I print out it out so I have a hardcopy version or download it and look at it online? I want to do this for all of my subjects but I wasn't sure if I wanted to waste paper. Do you normally use the study design?

I have the printed out study design! It is fantastic, but also super annoying to carry around. I guess it depends on whether you prefer hard-copy textbooks or online textbooks. I like hardcopy EVERYTHING!

I felt the same way at the start of this year! I decided to print the study design, though, and it's helped me so much!
I've annotated and highlighted it heaps and it's helped me with my bound reference for maths. I think in the end it was worth it so I would recommend just printing the pages with the actual dot points of what you need to know instead of printing the contents and other introductory pages too.

Thanks guys, for the advice.

Would definitely second this! The introductory pages are definitely worth reading but not worth printing.

Another peculiar question... I've noticed that on the Psychology Study Design, at the bottom it says "Updated: December 2018" (only visible when you download it). Is that update just for extending the accreditation period? Since I'm only doing Units 1/2 now, maybe I'll wait until next year to print off the Units 3/4 dot points in case it is updated before next year? Or is the content of the study design still the same?

The content should still be the same but sometimes VCAA does change things. e.g. when I did psych in 2017 they changed the study design halfway through the year (removing narcolepsy and sleep apnoea from the study design + replacing needing to know the relationship between Parkinson's disease and GABA to dopamine). This isn't normal but it can happen
