Lol, I managed to run on like 6 hours of sleep, which is technically A LOT. But some days I had no sleep or very little. After my last exams I just crashed sleeping TONS. Until last week I was sleeping 10-12 hours a day, but I'm slowly waking up earlier and earlier (surprisingly before my alarm) in preparation for university. I'm around 11-11:30 at the moment

Oh man I couldn't do that unless in special circumstances. Sleep is very important to me and anyways when people don't get enough sleep they arn't as productive or aware so its actually worse. Work rather than procrastinate and sleep shouldn't be a problem I don't think.

There is only one core for PSYCH 1X03. Do they basically review the material in the web modules during this time or are there seperate weekly tutorials? As well, when are the big review sessions held before midterms and exam? Would the timing of those big review sessions interfere with other lecture times?

If there are only cores than that's how it is. I have no idea what the psych department is doing this year but I know that they are trying to revamp the system, so this is probably another step this year.

The midterms/exams for this course, are they all based on the web modules and courseware or is there stuff out of the textbook that were tested on in your experience?

Yes, web modules are basically online lectures by the professor who is Dr. Kim. Yes, we use ELM to view them since it has now replaced WebCT.

Web modules are literally online lectures. Dr.Kim literally stands in front of a camera, and talks. There are diagrams that go with it.
Also, Dr.Kim is the cutest little man. Lmao.
Also, get used to pulling all nighters. Sleep may be important to you now, but trust me... EVERYONE pulls a few all nighters in first year. xD My longest run was 4 days straight.

They were just on the web modules last year. This year I heard they are incorporating the CCW as well. As for the textbook, I don't think anything that's not in the webmodules/CCW will be tested since it's not a required material.

Web modules are basically online audio lectures with accompanying slides. I suppose it will be on ELM, last year it was on WebCT.

The sample lecture reminds me of the Sci 1A00 video >.< though, a lot more interesting. I'm actually looking forward to this course, just because I liked garde 12 challenge and change. But what about this whole "essay" thing, is it more of a social science course, or does it include more science-y topics?
And WOAH Cheri, 4 days =O. That's horrible :(!
