My first Psychology class
Thu Oct 12, 2006 9:28 am
I had my first GCSE Psychology class last night. It started at 7pm and finished at 9pm and...gosh. It was really confusing. I felt so out of my depth and was sure that everyone else in the class was getting it and I wasn't. But then I found out that another woman struggled just like me so that made me feel better. The tutor talks too fast and he mumbles...oh well. I'll probably be able to understand him more when he's taught us for a bit longer heh. And, I have to admit, I kept losing my concentration and my mind wondered...that's a habit I really have to try and break. Anyway, it's every Wednesday and I'm sure it will all fit into place sooner or later.

Don't worry about it too much. I'd be willing to bet that you and that other woman weren't the only ones struggling.
A lot of times, teachers will try to scare you off or intimidate you in the first few classes. I guess they're trying to get everyone who's not serious about the class to withdraw, but it always seemed a little mean and pointless to me. They usually stop it with the intimidation tactics after the first test, in my experience. Just study hard and try to focus for now. It'll get easier.

The objective on psychology teachers, is to first drop you in the ocean, except it's an ocean of tar so everyone drowns. They will perform numerous psychological tests in order to embarass you, grind your arguments to dust, etc

We have Psychology on the same day! Awesome.
But I love my professor, very nice and some of the experiments he does is pretty neat. I love being a subject. If that isn't weird.
Ginger, honestly, just read the notes before and after the class, and it'll come to you. It's not as confusing if you make it fun for yourself. Try looking at it as a good thing rather than something negative.
