Subject Sets! A bit of stereotypical fun.

[mystikal]

Your forgetting the pure science geek which is not me by the way i fit in the asian 5 set (+Religion and Soceiry  + Japanese SL)

Science Set:               
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
English
Methods
Psychology

[shinny]

how bout the new weird mhs twist on asian 5? (since our physics department is HORRIBLE)

methods
spesh
eng
chem
accounting/bio usually
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (yes; bm...simply because our school guns it - 13 50's last yr o_o)

quite a few people are starting to do this strangely enough...but seems to be mainly a mhs thing =P

Why would a bad department stop people from doing the subject? o_O

Someone I knew did  Eng
                              3 Maths [inc uni]
                              Physics
                              French

             

   ..........and went on to do Artsssssss 

wow, that's almost the same as me... except i went on to do maths.

Lol Asian set -.-
Though.. I'm eurasian

Those are some wise words.

Whaaat, how could you say that? They both use the scientific method to test hypotheses like chemistry and physics do. I hate how people consider them pseudosciences, they function as a science ought to.

They can both be sciences, but they are certainly the 'weak' science subjects in VCE. If you take a look at the students enrolled in Psychology, you will find that most of them are not science minded people.

 yeah, psych and enviro science certainly aren't soft options at tertiary level, but they are for VCE

or you could be like ninwa and name a set after yourself

but they do not have the rigorous falsification as Chemistry and Physics have. The entire study of psychology and biology [note the use of study instead of science] is based on models that shows how something work, not why they work. As a result, even though they practice scientific methods, the model cannot be falsified, rather, it adapts.
This means that when something dont work, the definition of particular biological or psychological processes are "updated" rather than reworked on. The underlying principle is not changed so much, but the appearance and the packaging of the final model is close to truth.

in physics and chemistry, a simple variance means an entire reworking of a theory, such a case is the change from Newtonian Physics to Relativity, and Bohr's model to Schrodinger's model of atomic structure. they dont explain how things happen, but rather why things behave so. When something goes wrong, the "why" bit is scrapped and a new theory is written that explains the new phenomenal, not necessarily based on what is previously true.

Biology and Psychology arent totally "falsifiable", they cannot be considered as a science, only studies that take scientific methods.

Mao, what does your post mean
