Ethics in Practice

Today was first day of Ethics in Practice, Mike and I arrived early enough to buy books and relax before class started. ELC1 the lecture was held, and there must have been about +100 people there! This I wasn't expecting, all my Philosophy PtII units have always been comfortably small, fitting in a small classroom, never enough to half fill a lecture hall.

Confused, I soon realised that this unit had three groups of studies into one; Philosophy, Law and Business. Imagine that! Thankfully though, we have Peta as our tutor, and Philosophy only students in our tute. ... at least... I think so? Law students (who took up most of the place) are to be put in tutes on different day. Lucky!

The unit itself sounds quite interesting, although admittedly, it looks to be a bit tough. This unit has an exam worth 35%! I couldn't believe it, Peta mentioned once in class that she didn't like exams, but I guess this is her collaborating with other head of schools... sigh.. exam... I can never do really well in exams.... goodbye HD?

Good news is: apparently I am able to take one 200 level unit, which means only one of my units has to be at 400 level! This will save a lot of time, for 400 students have to write a lot extra and all throughout the unit guide reminding 400 students that they are to show exceptional understanding more than those of 200 levels. It is great to know I will only have one 400 to do.. can't decide which... but I have a feeling I might make Ethics in Practice as 200.

We will see how Meaning and Interpretation goes on Thursday.
