I've done well lower div. Psych courses so far, except the research and data course. I enjoy studying psych in general, but the words 'research' and 'data' disgust me. This is already my junior year, and I'm still not sure what I should do.
All the 200- and upper division courses for Psyc are super interesting because they are specialized and not general as the lower division courses. But then again, this goes for any department. Same with research methods and data courses -- pretty much required for any field of study, especially in the arts.

Thanks a lot! Do you think it's wise to take some 200- and upper Engl or Hist courses? I personally enjoy reading and writing, but pursuing a degree like that certainly wouldn't pay much.
If you like it, then go ahead -- they will count towards your electives and/or WQB. I've never taken any English or History classes because, well, I'm not really interested in them. However, I've taken a bunch of Gender Studies courses solely because they interested me and I have no intentions of minoring in anything.
you actually have a few credits to play with for UD requirements of psyc... so you can either do more psyc courses or you can use them as electives
I opted to do crim courses as electives rather than doing more psyc. Biggest reason is because I find crim really interesting, and may still consider delaying my graduation to finish up a few more credits for a crim minor. Second, unless you're interested in all fields of psychology, they just don't offer enough courses to specialize in a certain field. Most likely if I didn't take crim as an elective to fill up additional credits, I would have to take bio/neuro psyc courses *shudders*
Also the fact that SFU gives you plenty of freedom to do what you want, so you can delay your graduation if you want to do more credits. I, for one, have many many lower division credits already lol
