Description:

This is a AHSS/LA GER-PE, and the content covered includes various aspects of Psychology such as development, sexuality, learning, psychosis, substance abuse, etc.

There is only one lecture per week, no recorded lecture. Even though the notes is easily understandable, some of the sections are very simplified. Thus, it is advisable to attend the lecture as the lecturer provides extra information which will be beneficial for your essays. The lecturer always end the lecture way before time, sometimes even 1.5 hours ahead, so no need to worry about lessons ending too late. 
Readings are relatively light as you just have to read the lecture notes.

For the mid-terms, it's purely True/False MCQs (I think there are 40 of them). It's open-book, so as expected, understanding is more important, although it is beneficial if you know where to find information from the notes. Some of the questions may require information that the lecture verbally provide during lecture, so do attend lectures. However, in general, I feel that the quiz is quite tricky. 

For the finals, it's purely essay questions and they are application-based. It's open-book as well, and you need to elaborate your answers beyond what is given in the lecture notes. There are a bit of regurgitation (or rather, "copy-and-paste") here and there but understanding of the content is more important. Time management is important as you have to complete quite a number of essays within 2 hours. Reading through the notes beforehand will be beneficial because despite it being open-book, many people do not have the time to flip through. 

I would find this module quite enjoyable and easy to understand. But since it's open-book, the bell-curve may be steep.
