James, I don't even get it
Graney, just like with any subject, 1st and 2nd year prepare you for 3rd. Considering 1st and 2nd Dev subjects aren't hard, neither are 3rd year. Though depending on what you do you could end up with a lot of readings.
What degree are you doing? I've done Environmental Economics, Rethinking Development, Environment and Society, Society and Space and a few weeks of Globalisation: Cities, Economies. I should've done Advanced Studies in Sustainability but then I dropped out of The Sustainable Society so uh, I didn't bother haha.
ECON3320 is ok. I had only done Micro and Macro in the past so I'm not that great with economics but I still found this course doable. I didn't do particularly well but I think I still scraped a credit.
GEOG3300 is okish. If it's run by Sarah it'll be fucking boring as. I ate a lot in that class. There's a fair bit of piss-boring theory and I found it to be a bit of a rehash of things I already knew but then I guess it depends on subjects you've done in the past. We had to do a group presso which was pretty shit but not hard.
LEIS3130: didn't do it but I considered it as something to fill in the gaps haha. I don't imagine that would be a particularly great subject. I know a girl who was doing leisure and tourism type courses a while ago and they sounded rubbish (but probably very easy)
PHIL3190: considered this also for about two seconds until I read the outline. I have no idea why this is in the Development Studies program. I am pretty sure there is no way I could just delve into a third year subject like that :S
SOCA3060 is so.fucking.basic. hahah. All my mates hated it because the lecturer was so vague (in the head) but I loved it for that reason
Didn't learn a lot but I did learn a bit about permaculture gardens, naw
GEOG3090 has a lot of readings. And it's with Kathy so you can't even skim read. She knows those readings back-to-front which kinda makes you do them which takes a lot of time but I reckon it was worth it. I liked this class and you actually have to think a bit, whoa. Not hard though.
GEOG3240 I did for a few weeks and dropped because it was too full on (for me). TOO MUCH globalisation talk. Too economicsy. A few of my mates stuck with it but it wasn't for me :S
Don't know shit about SOCS3100, SRMT3020 or SRMT3040 but I wish I had
Some of that could've been useful. Ah well.
(Sorry this was so long
