Starting Class

My classes have now all started. I’m doing four all up, Environmental Planning and Law, Justice and the Australian Legal System, Health Promotion Needs Assessment and Planning, and Microbiology. They are all pretty heavy going and it seems like there will be a lot more work with these subjects than there was with some of the ones I did last semester. So far the planning subject is the most confusing one. I’ve been to two lectures and a tutorial and so far haven’t understood a word. It seems the subject, from what I gather by speaking to others taking the class, is about the merits of the planning system and how it tries to allow for both environmentally sustainable development and development that is environmentally sustainable. Believe me these are two totally different things despite sounding almost identical. If you read the definitions of the planning act they actually have these listed as two separate ideas or concepts. As I say, it’s quite confusing.
