sportsci 304
This entry was posted on Nov 01 2007
This paper’s convenor has to be the laziest one I’ve come across in 4 years of courses. All our tutorials have basically been taken straight off the textbook’s online resources website – the questions all unchanged. During lectures she makes a very, very distant summary of 2, 3 chapters of the textbook at a time, yet everything in those chapters are examinable. What is the point of the lecture if we have to memorise the textbook after that?
Copying the online material from chapters 11-24 have so far given me 45 pages in MS Word. This lecturer is lazy. $500 into the student loan. Not worth it. ‘Nuff said.

Mmmm. Even more than my 306 one, who noted the following academic detail of the lecture notes: “Order effects…well, I can’t think of an example. But you guys know what that is, right? It’s pretty self explanatory.”
Is this the only sport pscy course at Auckland? What textbook was it based on?

To answer your question – yes, SPORTSCI204 and SPORTSCI304 are the only two sport psychology courses at Auckland Uni. They are both lectured by Jane Magnusson.
The prescribed textbook for sportsci304 is: Foundations of Sport & Exercise Psychology, by Weinberg & Gould. I did the course last year as part of my final semester, and found that it was pretty much taken straight from the textbook for the most part.
Hope this helps – let me know if you have any other questions.
