Are you considering doing it for HSC?
Personally it's one of my fave subjects (I do ext 1 maths, adv english, chem, ees, drama)
Likes:
- it's relevant because environmental issues are becoming more apparent
- Personally, I like geology, so the first module Tectonic Impacts is really interesting
- I guess I just find it interesting
- The concepts aren't rocket-science, it's easier than Chemistry and Physics, which is a bonus
- There isn't too much to learn compared to Chemistry
Dislikes
- in the beginning, I found some of the topics a tad boring (there is a bit of stuff about soil), but I just looked at it as more knowledge for me to have (it's about your attitude)
- apparently it doesn't scale well? But if you do well at it, it'll still be good
- It's a small subject, so not as many resources (you've probably already noticed that on these forums)
Otherwise, if you like biology or ecology or geology, I would highly recommend it.
Also lots of new job opportunities now, as people are taking environmental things more seriously
