how to choose
hi i am a life science student
and for my electives i am stuck between choosing economics or kinesiology...
i have taken econ in highschool, and have heard great reviews so im guessing it will be an easy course for me
but on the other hand, kin sounds interesting and is in the science area though it seems to have a heavier course load..
wt should i take?
sem1: bio, chem, math, french, pysch
sem2: bio, chem, physics, french, kin/econ
thnx

If you've taken econ in high school, definitely take the course in university. It will be review for you which means a good grade hopefully depending on how well you did in high school

Physiology could benefit you depending on where you want to go in the science field.

Clearly you are choosing an elective for 2nd term, so that means you can't take Kin anyway -- only the 2nd half of Kin is offered in 2nd term, and you aren't taking its prereq, 1Y03.
Just letting you know. |
