depends on how u handle the workload. i m not in kin, but i can tell u some info about ur electives.
bio (i m assuming 1a03) --> pretty much review of grade 12 bio...
math 1ls3 ---> easier than grade 12 calculus (imo).
chem 1a03 ---> grade 12 chem
kin 1a03/1aa3 ---> u learn anatomy...u have weekly quizzes. two lectures per week.. u do learn a fair amount of anatomy...key is to keep up with everything



dont know abt psych

i think this is a reasonable course load. u will be fine...just dont procrastinate

Not in Kin but I took kin 1A03/1AA3, and bio, chem, calc and psych. You'll be fine! I only had trouble with chemistry a little but you will be fine if you have good high school background! Plus it's important to take courses that interest you. Even courses that are deemed "bird" courses have work to them and if you don't like it, it sucks doing it! Initially people told me not to take Anatomy as my electives cause it's more work than other courses but I am so glad I did, they were two of my favourite classes and I learned a lot.
