hmm..out of the subjects listed, i can only speak for a couple...
biol1010 or 1120 is bloody awesome, but really only has significance to a few weeks in psyc1020..lets see, what did we do...environmental kinda stuff, then enzymes/respiration/fermentation, then photosynthesis, then genetics, then fertilization.
psyc1010/1020 are ok, bit tedious at times (reading 19 journal articles and writing 2000 words on the effects of spanking children)...hmm in first semester (1010) you do developmental, social, intelligence/personality and health psych. sem 2 (1020) you do brain (kinda biology), motivation/emotion, learning, perception, memory thought and language
Phil1060 is pretty wanky...well its not that bad...but as a BSc student, i dont really like it (but then, i did have to write 630 words ripping apart science, but anyways)
and although i dont do it, from what i can gather, Info1010 is pretty much just like yr 9/10 computer studies and 11/12 ipt

i'm doing a B arts / B Laws majoring in psych, planning on doing psych honours, so yeah i basically do a psych degree as my arts degree.
im currently doing psyc 102 (intro to psychology semester 2 ) and psyc 103 (psyc in society - current issues) at UNE.At the moment its a really awesome course as we are donga little bit of work on psychological disorders - in our lab sessions we had to diagnose people off a video. Semester 1 intro was very very dry, with a few interesting elements (teaching a computerised rat how to feed itself), but overall its a really good course.
Assessment wise, be prepared to read alot of journal articles - our assessment was a 2000 word essay on the long and short term psychological effects of marijuana smoking (pretty easy) and a research participation task (in which we are now using our results for a practical report).
I highly recomend this course!!!

OMG. Psyc is so boring....maybe it's just me. First session psyc was about social stuff. Not very scientific.....
