Power in Society or World Politics? (1 Viewer)

[I-Jester]

Help! I'm doing a Govt and Int. Relations major in my BA (Media and Communications) and i've selected Power in Society but i'm worried it's going to be crap.

Should I do World Politics instead? Or is there a better junior unit that i could do instead (I'm already doing Australian Politics)?

Thanks in advance.

 

[the questions]

Well I am doing Geopolitics in semester one wich sounds really good, and then because I did not want to do the aus course I am doing power in society in semster one too....(no one said I could not...) yet I did want to do the world politics one, but next to the name it says:summer. Doesn't that mean that you can only take it in the summer holidays?........ thats what I thought anyway..
Other wise I would be doing it..
What do U think? and I think that power in society will be alright!-interesting..

World Pol is available second sem. I'm taking Geopolitics in sem 1 and World in sem 2 - I reacted in rather juvenile fashion to the Power in Society description (much too powerplays, argh). Not sure if geop. and world pol are too similar, but oh well.

I'm doing both those subjects and wondering if I should replace them altogether!

add me to msn (if you like)
i'm thinking about replacing them both with Beginner's Italian. What do you reckon?

It doesn't matter which one really, just try one out for the first couple of weeks and if you don't like it, swap over.
Thats my plan.

haha is power in society really that bad? Is it hard or something??

I'm sure Melby is going to say its a joke because its so easy

But I actually did better in World Politics than I did in Power in Society (mainly because for my major essay I was called a "left wing extremist" by the marker - but you gotta admit, the World Politics exam is SO much easier than Power's 3 essays)

atm i'm doing power in soc and aust politics. i was thinking of changing from AP to world pols,but now i'm thinking i'll do geo pol and aust pol. what does everybody think? (i desperately need the opinions of people who are not my parents, THEY have read the handbooks cover to cover and won't shut up about it...)

i've picked geo and world for 1st year, considering changing to inter business thou, but have ages to choose.

btw has anyone had a look on blackboard at the course structure for geopolitics? its looking really interesting, and the assignments don't look too horrible, basically teaching you to look at both sides of hte arguement and the correct form when your creating a bio.

who else is joining me for it?

I'm doing GeoPol and it looks really interesting.

I don't understand why this person is asking this question to start off with though because Power in Society is a Sem 1 subject and World Pol is a Sem 2 so you can do both...?
