All about Psychology
Assalam alaikum to all
I have received many mails and messages to start this thread, but before starting this thread, I want to make it clear that I do not know much about Psychology. I am just student like you all. okay let's start Whether one should opt Psychology or not, he/she must analyze following points. Positive side: scientific subject very scoring as compared to other 200 marks papers. very interesting Improve your mental activity Examiner has been asking simple, direct and lucid question since 2007. Based on few schools of thought which are discussed again and again. you will get few days gap during examination. Negative side: It is not so easy as it seems. one should have taste for Psychology. there is no any one-book therapy. If you go through in past papers before 2007, every question is interdependent on its whole chapter. there is no shortcut. even at the day of paper, you cannot overcome your confusion. Examiner can interrelate many things in just single question. there are a few topics which are not written in any book even on internet. abhi itne he yad arhe hai. |

I would prefer Zimbardo. Learning and disorders are very nicely written in Zimbardo. Zimbardo is better than Feldman. Both can cover much course but not all.
