I used to think the TASC building was a great place to study, but no, the AQ building beats it by miles.
What's your guys' exam schedules like? For me, one exam on a Saturday and then after a few days I have three exams across two days.  | |

Has anyone taken any kin (bpk) courses? I remember talking to someone about which kin course was the easiest a few semesters ago, but 1st and 2nd year problems = late ass enrollment dates which means I never had the chance to get in one. Which one do you guys recommend?

As for my exam schedule, have a crim exam on the 4th I believe, then 5 days until a math exam. The next two exams happen with a day in between each.

His midterm was so easy. The MC portion was literally all recycled quiz questions that you have from each week and all you need to know for the written are the "list" of such symptoms, causes, and what not.
Aside from that there are weekly quizzes and 3 assignments

The prof is a great guy though, very kind, and makes an effort to adjust to his students' needs.
Edit: Wait, is this for HSCI 120 or HSCI 140? I don't believe he teaches HSCI 120.

Anyone take crim 101 with Barry Cartwright or BUS 393? Thing is if I take crim 101, the final falls on April 20th 8:30am, which is the same day as my BUS 393 final, except it's at 7:00pm. Anyone take either of these courses? Will I struggle if the finals are on the same day?

On a side note, has anyone taken Physics 101?
I'm kind of in a tough position cause I took the Physics 100 equivalent at Langara, but literally did not learn anything. The prof was completely useless.
I feel like I'll get wrecked in Physics 101 if I don't have the proper foundation for it, I've only taken physics 11 in high school and that was like 4 years ago.
And if I retake physics 100 it's going to waste one of my repeats which an advisor told me was not worth it…
So if anyone has taken Physics 101 please enlighten me on the course please.

I don't believe he teaches HSCI 120. | Well I'm used to boring and not paying attention in class, I'm taking 103 with Barkin right now and I don't pay attention but getting an A- so that aspect doesn't bother me. The textbook bit does bother me a bit, ill consider it.
edit: Looks like Krauth uses a grading curve us anything below 70% is a fail. Not that I'm not confident i won't get more then 70% (i know i will) but that makes me question what a damn B+ would be lol

All classes after first year are going to be 2 hours and once a week, not 1hr 3x a week like first year classes.
Why don't you take GEOG111 as a GPA booster? Quote:

PHYS101 is pretty fundamental stuff and not that difficult. It's very straight forward... vectors, torque, gravity, etc. If you can make it through calculus then I think you have the brain capacity to do it haha.

Never took 105 but this course is the most "kinesiology" course out of all 3. It teaches how organs work and how they affect your body. If you're interested in see what Kinesiology/BPK major is about, then I would take this course.
143 is an okay course if you want to learn basics on exercising. Quite a bit of work but worth it if you want to learn about working out. Leyland is a good prof but he will talk about crossfit a lot Quote:

Memorization heavy = BPK 110
Insight of what Kinesiology is = BPK 105
A course that encompasses everything Kin related = BPK 142
Exercise and its fundamentals = BPK 143 Quote:
