We love Ms Haynes she's amazing - will talk a lot in class but we love that - cares a lot about the subject and very knowledgeable. Is strict about marking but this helps for exams and WACE, will give out VAGUE stamps if the answer isn't detailed enough. Incredible teacher, but its a hard class so do not underestimate this (psych atar) - Choose general psych if your not prepared to lock in because there is a lot of content and memorisation that can make the ATAR course difficult, and general would be better if you just have a passing interest in the subject
