hi all,

i am a first year student and i am taking medical physics 1E03 as my elective for the second term. but, i don't know anything about the course so if someone can tell me what is really being taught in the course, are there any quizzes, assignments or miderms included in it, and if the course is a wrong choice as an elective? i just took it after reading the brief description for it on mc website and casue i like both bio and phy. if anyone can pl reply asap, i would appreciate it a lot.

Thanx,

Hey there, I was thinking of taking this course as well. This is the first year it's being offered.

Here's the course outline I've found: http://www.science.mcmaster. ca/med...lines/1E03.pdf
As a side note, does anyone know how good M. FARQUHARSON is as a professor?

I doubt anyone's going to know firsthand...but from what I've heard, Med Phys has a lot of wave physics in it...so things like Electricity and Magnetism, X-Rays, PET scans, and you'd probably do some heavier particle physics to examine how such things work...so things like radioactive decay, pair production (which all involve radiation).


If you're interested in anything I just said, it's probably a great course for you (And Med Physics may be a great program for you).

It's a brand new introductory course that's never been taught before! Medical physics is quite exciting though . Hope you take it!
