Please help me pick my 2 electives
I wanted to take kin as 1 of my electives but now it's full so I need to pick other electives as replacements. I'm thinking of enviro-sci 1G03, classics/history 1B03 (trojan war), philosphy 1A03, and medical physics 1E03 and anthro 1A03/Z03

Out of these I'm most interested in medical physics but I'm not sure if it is a heavy workload course or not because I really want some easy going courses as my electives. If anyone took it before, please give me some feedback regarding that course.

Thanks guys!

The medical physics course is new but you should take it, radiation physics/biology is quite interesting. I was also told that astronomy is a good elective.

The philosophy and history courses would involve a lot of reading and are probably essay based. If writing isn't a strong point of yours I would stay away from those classes as electives.

Anthro is really easy from what I've heard but, it's full :( I really really wanted Classics 1B03 but it's full too!! *waaaaa! ;_; :(
Med Physics sounds interesting but I don't know if I would take.
Astronomy is quite physics-related so, if you're into physics then go for it

There is quite a big difference between Anthro 1A03 and 1Z03. Check out the course reviews for more information on each.

Deffinitely take Astronomy!!! Best course ever. Dr. Reid is fantastic. It's really easy too, some of the physics were a little difficult but the challenges kept it interesting.
