Bio psy is driving me crazy!! A real killer subject...I'm begining to think that stats is better than this...maybe because the lecturer in stats gives us a study guide so we have something to fall back upon...
As if biology and psychology on their own aren't bad enough...
biology + psychology = havoc + information overload!
How can people actually remember this much of information? 6 chapters in total for the coming exam and I'm already half dead...
The one thing so damn frustrating about the subject are the weird terms that we have to memorize...like anthropomorphism...huh?? And how are we suppose to differentiate chemical terms like chlorpromazine, clozapine and clomipramine?? I can't even pronounce them properly let alone being able to memorize and differentiate between them!
And this is just a 300-level course...I'll hate to see myself when I'm taking a 400-level course...
However, I do not deny that bio psy can be pretty interesting at times. Do you know that there are species who can actually change their sex with the presence of some hormone? (not applicable to humans of course). Also alligators' sex aren't determined during conception. Their sex is determined by the temperature during the period of incubation. Cooler temperature would result in a female and warmer temperature, a male! Interesting huh? There was also a chapter on people's IQ and why it differs from one another. What factors lead to the difference in IQ among humans? A rather controversial (maybe even taboo) subject but a very interesting one. But of course, in between the interesting topics, many boring ones come...like learning about neurons, synapses and action potentials...bleuks...okay...i shall get back to studying then...
