Yea, that's a pretty light schedule. Should be pretty easy to manage.

Seems like a decent schedule, pretty light as the other posters were saying. Of course you will have 5 more hours of class once you've added in your tutorials. I'm in social science too and I think I had about 19 hours of class each semester for first year including tutorials/labs.
Oh and I just wanted to say, I took Aging and Society last year and they dropped one of the lecture hours, so we only had two plus a tutorial every other week, maybe it'll be the same again this year for you  |

Definitely a light schedule. But there will still be a lot of reading every week, so don't underestimate it!

Yep! They've been doing it since Prof Joshi started teaching years ago, so I'm sure it'll be like that again . It was a nice surprise on the first day of class  .

Ah, my bad, I thought the OP already incorporated those.
Even so, it shouldn't be too bad at all.

I seriously hope they drop one of the lectures for health & aging. Why do the psych courses only have one class each week? I got 5 more hours in tutorials and they're all over the place.. How do you think they should be spaced out?

You mean Health and Aging 1BB3? If so, and if Prof Joshi is teaching it, then yes, one hour will be dropped, usually the second one or in the middle of the week. We had class Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and the Wed. class was dropped.
