  If got attachment then its better lor... you get clinical exposure and then you have first hand experience talking to the patients, and you will feel it coming alive and the purpose of studying and reading the stuffs for exams...
  
  Same like medicine, things become much easier towards the final few years of studying... as it is more practical and clinical...
  
  Graduating next year hor?

  That means you are taking it for CDS? The grading is like other subjects 60% pratical 40% theory.
  
  Practical includes class participation,attendance, online quiz(you'll be notified of this during lecture) and offline assignments.Finally a exploration report on a topic of your choice or pick 1 from a group of topics given by tutor.
  
  Theory consists of 1 tutorial and 1 lecture(usually held in the evening at business school)
  
  Oh, yes there is one exam but that's with the rest of your normal exam papers at the end of the sem.
  
  As for difficulty, its like any other subject; if you are enthusiastic about it and do your work with passion you can easily get a B and above. One important thing to note, is while the notes and stuff provided by lecturer is more than suffcient to get a good grade, it is recommend to do your own reading,web surfing etc.

  Good for you...but I hope you realize this specialty does not pay well. Don't regret later cos' once you down that route it is too late to turn back...but do follow your heart, as long as you know the implications.

  u can always sell them off next sem..to be texts are good for beginners..something to fall back upon, if ur lecturer is vague (v common due to time constraints) or wish to talk outside texts...

  The "Intro to Psychology" hardback/softback book and the provided notes is more than enough. Extra reading from internet will help in your exploration report and when you are sitting for the exam ,you'll have more examples to use.
  
  But of course, if you have the cash and plan to pursue Psychology(in uni) later on its a good investment to buy those reference books.

  I knew that was bound to come up. Yeah, I took psy as one of my cds during year 1.
  
  Regarding the ratio of girls to guys, its hard to generalize. My class had an almost equal number in ratio. Some other classes had like 3 guys,the rest all girls.However what that class had in quantity it lacked in quality.Overall for the course from all the schools, I think there were more girls.
  
  But since I was from eng school, I did the chio bu viewing while I was waitng for lecture(or in lecture) to start in buisness school.

  I understand... a physician has to work for his pay, while a surgeon swifts through and earns a lot of money...
  
  
  
  I've been told of the many implications that I will face one day... but I always have reserves...
