#phys 100

Is the only downfall for taking PHYS 100 not counting towards the 12 credits of science for promotion? Because I meet the 12 credits with the other courses I'm taking.... is it basically like an elective then, and will it count towards my overall gpa for speciailizations and med school? Thanks!

If I were the anon, I would take PHYS 100 to lighten up the course load for the first term (and it's going to be a GPA booster as well). Spend the high school summer for travel instead of taking summer school.

Hi, I took Phys 100 in first term. All the exams were open notes, and the midterms were worth 10% each = 20% in total. If you are not a physics person (like me), or would like to take 4 courses in first semester, I personally would recommend just doing Physics 12 in summer school (or online summer?). The 3 hour weekly lab sessions are not worth it, imo. Beware that class notes is SIGNIFICANTLY more simple than the exams. This course requires one of the most time effort (other than Math or Chem).

PHYS 100 is probably the easiest first-year science course. Midterms are weighed only 15% total, and there is a group exam portion, and you also get memory aid. It is considered to be easier than high school physics 12.

Can PHYS 100 be used for your overall gpa? How come I hear people say this course doesn't count...?

Hi, I am entering grade 12 in September and I'm wondering whether I should take I should take Physics 12 or should I just take PHYS 100 instead?

is phys 100 easy, even for students notstrong in physics...?

Hello, hope you're feeling better!! If a major (CAPS) has a requirement that is "Students must take 3 credits of PHYS in addition to PHYS 101" would PHYS 100 meet that requirement or not since it is a prerequisite to PHYS 101? Also, are there any first year courses that are better to put in the first or second semester? (particularly English or bio since I have to take 2/3 of them)
