What is the most interesting module and why?
Most interesting module...
I think that would have to be PSY107 because
it is the first module that you take and at
the same time you know it covers all the foundation
in Psychology and it is just a really fun
module.
Okay.. what is the most challenging part of
this course?
Most challenging would definitely have to
be Statistics.

to this.

Lessons are conducted in seminar-styled, lots
of group activities, interaction, discussions,
all fun stuff.
And how flexible are class times?
Class times are not flexible but you can learn
anytime, anywhere and that's the best part!
Alright, name three jobs graduates can look
forward to.

a psychologist, if not you can get into research,
education, HR, lots of things.

you have ever had.

people, so it's not about the money.

Quite a fair bit.
But best is to check out the Open Houses or

Recall a funny incident during class.
I think most of the funny incidents in class
always seem to center around me laughing
at myself and my students not knowing whether
if they should laugh at me and then it makes
me more funny and then I'll try to laugh at
them.
If this programme were a song, what would
the title be?
Let Me Blow Your Mind?
