Physics 1A03 vs 1C03
Hello! need help deciding which course I should take. My grade 12 physics teacher didn't really teach us much, and I'm not a huge fan of physics but I need to take one of these courses. I'm just looking for any information on what the course load is like, and what the professors are like. Also, what is the content like compared to high school physics?
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

Physics 1A03 is literally just review of Grade 11+12 physics. So if you just want the credit this is the course you wanna take. There will be a mix of people with and without the grade 12 credit in this course. Midterms and final exam are multiple choice. Labs are boring as fuck, but they're not too hard. You're just exploring the concepts you've learned in class but now using these carts on a track and some computer software. You usually work in groups of 3 in labs. There is a prelab exercise to be handed in before entering the lab. During the lab there is a set of questions that you need to answer. You just follow the instructions. It's not hard. I remember in my year you got a minimum 90% for your lab mark if your group simply completed each lab. The rest of the marks were just for neatness and thoroughness of your lab notebook.
