First Year Elective (Life Sci -> Health Sci)
So Im going into Life Science and looking to transfer to Health Science next year. I have to choose 2 first year electives and I am looking for ones that are easy and not time consuming. I've narrowed it down to 5 (Though I am completely open to other suggestions) and I want to get people's opinions on which courses are the easiest/least time consuming. The five courses are :

Aging and Society (HLTH AGE 1BB3)
Introduction to Peace Studies (Peace ST 1A03)
Women, Culture, Power (Women ST 1A03)
Women Transforming the World (Women ST 1A03)
Physics in Medicine and Biology I (Med Phys 1E03)

So if you've taken any of these courses or have any background knowledge in them, your advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

I'm a Life Sci --> Health Sci transfer and I took French 1A06 for my two electives because I didn't want to lose my French. I don't really know about the electives you've picked, but my advice is to just take whatever course that interests you. Even if the course is a little challenging, it'll seem easier to you and maybe it'll inspire you to go into a minor or take upper year courses that interest you.

Also, if you have any questions about transferring, feel free to ask

if ur looking for an elective, take mmedia 1B03. its mostly photoshop and webdesign. there isn't that much theory and it's an easy hands-on bird course.
