Phys 1BB3 & Chem Bio
I know it's a recommended course and it isn't required, but since I'm enrolled in it this summer, I was wondering how valuable the content would be to your overall understanding of a Chem program.

It's required for pure Chemistry which indicates that it provides some sort of foundation for the concepts that have been learned, but I was wondering how useful people found the material.

I know the course reviews discuss easiness vs. difficulty and manageability but I'm purely addressing content and its applications

Thanks so much

I'm definitely not a physics person--you couldnt pay me enough to take phys 1BB3! I don't think it's hurt me that much. I think the reason it's required for chem is because of the quantum physics/electricity/magnetism stuff from 1BB3. We didn't really deal too much with that sort of chemistry in second year, although I think we do in third year. It might make some concepts easier to grasp, but really, most people did just fine without having taken 1BB3. Several people hadn't even taken 1B03 yet, and it didn't adversely affect anyone's marks as far as I know.
