• If you understand the first portion of PHYS 111, KIN 121 will come to you very quickly. I liked how physics was actually incorporated into something relevant in the world. Labs and Midterms were straightforward, final exam was pretty lengthy and probably a tad bit harder than what you expect.

• imo this course was easier than first year physics, as long as you go to class and do some practice problems you should be fine!

• Had this class in F2022 with Dan Viggiani. The class was overall easy until the final. 48% final, 32% midterm, and 20% free quizzes to complete online on learn. Very basic physics and kinesiology applications. The last question on the final was worth 25 marks (on an almost 50% final, meaning 12% or so of the final grade for just that question), and was a thinking question which dropped my grade by 10% or so. Besides that the class was easy.

• Took this course with Dr. Cudlip in Fall 2023. Cudlip made the content engaging and easy to follow. The material presented in class was fair game on the quizzes, term test and final. Calculations that we needed to be able to do were walked through step by step and the same questions we were tested on but with different numbers. Although all the material we were tested on was covered in lecture, the marking was very particular. We were given our two term tests to keep and use to help prepare for the final. Dr. Cudlip welcomed questions in class and was happy to review test marks. He seemed to care about his students and made his classes interactive.

• The course content was relatively simple to understand. There are no assignments, only weekly quizzes with unlimited attempts. The course itself feels light but you need to have a good understanding of equations and concepts for the midterm and final. Sometimes it felt like concepts were not thoroughly taught during the lecture but Dan is good at answering questions for clarification. You could easily get an 85+ in the course if you take the time to practice equations. You're given a reference sheet for the midterm and final but it's honestly useless, you need to memorize the equations. Reviewing practice problems and quizzes really help. It's easy to fall behind in understanding the…
