Physics 243 Dreyfus

Academics

How are they? I’ve never taken a physics class in my life but I’ve always been good at math and Calc. What should I expect? Also this class is asynchronous in spring 2021

Dreyfus physics course doesn’t use calc, Make sure you don’t have to take Phys 160 instead (physics with calc used). But overall it’s not too bad you guys go over stuff without requiring calc and use all these formulas using algebra. Workload can be kinda high but physics is always like this you gotta learn how to use formulas for situations not memorizing each solution (thats how most fail)
