Maybe baoz means school of medicine and health sciences.
Because i checked in the monash website,and yes its compulsory for my course as well,which is psych.

I didn't receive any email from Monash though.I guess because I haven't accepted the offer yet.
Wow Genting view resort! I've never been there.Going to check it out. smile.gif

Yea I'm taking Bachelor of Psychology and Business.
What would you like to know about the course? What major are you planning to take?
It's basically 2 subjects of psych and 2 subjects of business every semester.
For business students, they can choose two business major (e.g. management and finance), but for us, we get to choose one business major and the other one will be psych.

Also, because our course is one science on business. Sometimes the lectures and lab classes for psych will clash with business subjects. But it's usually not a big deal. The psych classes are the same as those who are doing pure Psychology course.
*
I would like to know how are the assessments for psychology like? And I'm not really sure on what major I'd like to pursue yet.
Thinking about international business or accounting.

So,how do you deal with lectures and labs clashing?
I'm not aware they offer pure psychology course in monash because it's not mentioned on the website.
Thanks smile.gif

Psychology has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of lab class every week.
Every semester, the lecturer from Australia will come over to give a 5 hours long compulsory lab which we MUST attend or we will fail the subject. It's something like in Australia they have to attend at least 70% or 80% of their lab classes. However, in Malaysia we only need to attend that compulsory lab and you can skip all the other labs if you want.

Assignments for psychology are mostly reports. We usually have 2 assignments per semester and then there's the interlearn online where we have to do small small assessments online which comes up to about 10% of the final result. If I'm not mistaken, all the psych subjects are 50% coursework, 50% exam. There's no hurdle for exam unlike in business subjects. Exams are mostly 2 hours, some 3, and all MCQ questions. Roughly 100+ MCQ questions, depends on the subject.

For me, I don't have any class clashing so far. My friends who has clashing classes go for either one of them. Most of the time, business tutorials are plenty, so just go for the one that doesn't clash with psychology lab and lectures. There's usually only 2 psychology lab to choose from. Lectures are all fixed timing so can't choose. If so happen two lectures also clash, then most of them usually go for business lecture cause psychology lectures are mostly available online (Australian ones). Cause there are many off-campus students as well.
Yea, it's under another faculty. I'm not very familiar with that course however.


Added on February 1, 2011, 3:21 pmAlso, do take note that if you're planning to do student exchange for this course, you might not be able to have both your psychology and business lecture in the same campus cause this degree is only available in Malaysia. So if you exchange to Australia, I heard that you have to travel between two campuses or you have to do psychology off-campus, which is like listening to lectures online and stuff.

Thanks so much for the info. Is this your final year?
