Best Breadth Subjects

[vexx]

I've heard that psychology is fairly easy to do well considering the majority of the assessment lies in a multi-choice exam.

Yea Im planning to do this one, looks interesting https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/PSYC30014

I'm thinking of doing Modern South-East Asia, a history breadth. Is this familiar to anyone? I liked history in Year 10, didn't study any in VCE so I kind of liked to take it up again in uni. Any opinions?

You'll most likely need to have done the lower level ones to have any chance of doing well in that. Remember that all of your peers will have done two years of psychology and will be applying their previous knowledge from that, not to mention their experimental techniques to it and the subjects coordinators will have designed the subject around that.

"Recommended Background Knowledge:   
Prior coursework in at least two Level 2 psychology subjects is recommended. Level 2 psychology subjects are: Biological Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Personality & Social Psychology"

Easy breadth for a Commerce major? Engineering systems design 1. Seriously.

Could you please elaborate on 'experimental knowledge'?

Result compilation doesnt seem too difficult

Nah i agree, but wouldn't do the third level course without having done at least first year!

It's so much more than result compilation. Taking a third year subject with no previous experience (VCE psych does not count at all) is essentially suicide. Don't jump two years like that, you'll regret it.

It's also not breadth for BSc students.
