the name's Anne!
yeah hatty ... i was getting 90%s and stuff in high school easy... but uni's different...
here's an idea of the workload...
think of a HSC subject, now think of the hardest bits understanding that subject... times that by two ..... and then this would constitute the easiest parts of a typical uni subject.. and then it gets harder as time goes on. Added to this.. you have 3 months to learn your subject.
if you worked diligently, you would summarise 4-6 chapters of a textbook a week, as well as doing assessments and weekly tasks.
Of course no one does this, I got a High distinction for psychology in first semester and high credits for marketing and statistics. For statistics i didn't goto any of my lectures, learnt the course doing my weekly tasks and doing past papers, marketing... i summarised the book omg i wish i did that with my subjects this semester! and with psychology... i didn't got any of the lectures either and just listened to lectures on tape.
With uni... it's not easy to pass but at the same time... it is hard.
