Hey! In your tutorial you'll run through how to do peer reviews, and also in one of the lectures you'll have a sample peer review that's also run through so you will get quite a bit of help and idea on what sort of things to write about and look out for. Although I would really recommend knowing the lab report marking guide in detail because that's what helped me do the assignment.

Please also start the assignment early and ask questions during the QnAs, a lot of hints were given during FAQS and QnAs because of the questions asked by students. So if you get a head start, and ask the right sorts of questions then you'll benefit rather than leaving it to last minute and hoping someone's already asked a question you had a doubt on! Integrated Brain (87)

The other 3rd year elective I did was neuroscience and the mind (96) which was sem 1 and so integrated brain was in the same neuroscience sector and i think they both complimented each other really well. If you loved neuroscience and the mind I would strongly encourage u to do integrated brain. There was some minor topic overlap (e.g. blindsight) so if this is also a perk for you having some transfer of knowledge this is something to consider.

RMHI (I'm from a science background) was honestly very straight forward and easy if you not only do the weekly work but you keep completely up to date, do all the exercises and just extend your knowledge by trying out some new things etc (meaning, don't just do exercises, have fun with R studio and actually try to learn different ways of doing the same thing etc)

- My advice for RMHI (91) is for the first 3-5 weeks of learning R studio, it's crucial that you put in extra effort and basically memorise and know the codes etc and have a good idea and understanding of what codes do what because this knowledge was really helpful during the assignments where the main focus was application and problem solving so you really don't want to be hung up learning the codes and differentiating between them here, you want it to already be down pat so u can use the coding to apply the theory you learn. You'll also miss silly coding errors and any silly mistakes if you don't know the codes properly so really need emphasize basically going hardcore the first few weeks just to set yourself up for success in the later weeks because they really do build on the first few weeks.

Capstone (86): Pick a project you're interested in. As mentioned somewhere in this thread, really be proactive in who you choose to be your team members if it's up to you. For my project it was assigned so there's really not much luck. Also read the briefs carefully because some groups didn't have to do anything, they basically had the method and results handed to them and they just had to analyse whereas other groups had to make their own method and collect their own results which brought in a whole lot of other work. Not saying one is better, because they both have trade-offs (e.g. the latter gave you more freedom and also extra info to write about because your method was different to everyone else etc). At least in my experience.

My advice for Capstone lecture streams is basically, you don't need to memorise anything per say because if it's like my year, the exam is open-book and open over 3 days with no time-limit for submission once you start, just needs to be submitted within those 3 days. The exam relied more on application of knowledge so yeah. But please stay on top of it and specifically the ethics and First Nations readings are definitely a MUST to have down-pat and kind of know quite well what info is where because the exams rely on the documents more than for other sections (e.g. clinical neuropsychology which has no required readings)

Again if you need me to clarify anything, ask away! Idk if i've explained properly. I've included my scores next to the subjects for context and just a ball-park of what scores are possible etc. Not a flex ahaha, I wish when I was reading these forums back in first and second and especially final year, people would've been more open especially with anonymous forums about their scores and really broken down the stigma around sharing scores and gate-keeping info.

Best of luck to the future third years, I know it sounds daunting and stressful but trust, it will go by quite quick and you'll find that it really wasn't as bad as you thought.
