Hi my name's jess and I am studying first
year science at QUT.
I've always been interested in science so
I did chemistry biology and physics.
I enjoyed chemistry and biology the most and
am currently doing two experimental disciplines,
earth science and environmental.
In experimental science we go out into the
field and conduct experiments.
For example with environmental we go out into
the field and we took water samples, macro-invertebrate
samples and then we bring those back to the
lab and we look at those in more depth and
then try and create conclusions from those
samples.
For every lecture you basically have a workshop
that you go to and then you also have lab
work as well so you probably have a little
more practical work where it's more interactive.
We use 'go soap box' to do quizzes and surveys
that the lecturers send out to us so that
they can get feedback on how we're feeling
about the course or something in particular.
It is really different like a bit change it's
so much more independent like you expect it's
going to be but you don't actually realise
how much more it is independent but in the
same respect that's what I enjoy.
When I finish uni, I'm still sort of deciding
with it but I've been looking at doing earth
science but I would like to integrate environmental
into that, I'm really enjoying that.
So I'll see where it takes me.
