I took 1B03 first, and taking 1BB3 was easier after. Half of the first test for 1BB3 was basic info from 1B03. Most engineers take both econs as their electives. Doesn't require a lot of time, and you get a good grade just doing assignments n quizzes, and there r 2 tests and 1 final exam.

Plus, if you have Holmes for 1B03, she will make sure everyone does good.

Which one is easier, HLTH AGE 1BB3 (formerly Gerontology 1A03), or PHYSICS 1L03?
I've taken 12U Physics btw, and I did pretty good in it + liked it a lot to be honest

If you liked/did well in gr12 physics, then taking 1L03 is a waste of time/money, although you would probably find it very easy. Many 2nd year programs require 1B03 by the end of second year, so you might as well get it out of the way in first year. |

so how would the easiness of 1L03 compare to HLTH AGE 1bb3?
the thing is, im planning to take physics 1b03 2nd term, and then physics 1bb3/1ba3 in the summer
I'm just worried that when i take physics 1b03 , it will have been a year since I've taken any kind of physics at all (assuming i drop physics 1l03 in favor of hlth age 1bb3)
so i guess it boils down to whether or not physics 1b03 needs a refresher to physics at all, if yes, maybe i should take physics 1l03, if no, i'd be better off taking hlth age 1bb3

I thought a lot of 1B03 itself was repeated from high school, just with extensions on some ideas. I can't comment directly on hth age 1BB3 though, since I haven't taken it nor have I talked to anyone about it. |

I did Anthro 1A03 and PeaceSt 1BB3 and they were both mind-numbingly easy. Birds to the nth degree.

Peace St. 1BB3 is now a second year course, unfortunately. |

Unless you are good at Math, Econ is the course that requires the least amount of background. The least amount is none.
