    140 is all memorization. It's easy though.

    don't take 142 the amount of material that you have to memorize is freaking crazy. The average on the midterm i took was like 50%. Take 110, its all memorization as well but its easy stuff.

    I'm in the same boat as you.

    B-Sci but don't know which one is easier...

    Either way, whichever way you take it, I hear its mostly all memorization, so if you're good at that, pretty much guaranteed A.

    I don't think I'd take it DE personally unless I absolutely had to but it really depends on the person. I've taken a few DE courses and done quite well but they were tedious. If I had to choose, I'd take a class over DE just because its easier to take in information and listen rather than motivating yourself to read/learn it on your own.

    And you're right they do.

    yes...taking DE really depends on the person. I'm taking DE PYSC 280 (biological psyc) this sem...and i always find it is so important to motivate myself to read that textbook....and i'm now falling behind of the expected syllabus...i hv to catch up hard....:sad:

    i did kin 142

    One of my favorite classes so far, seems to be a lot more cool ppl in kin than in the sciences :P

    the labs are mostly group labs, but you have to be in decent shape cause there is a lot of activity and im gonna say it like it is...if you're self conscious about your body or anything of the sort, you probably will not enjoy it (the first lab requires measurements of body folds/flaps all over the place)....measurements you can't do on your own lol

    Otherwise the lecture portion of the class is pretty easy, A LOT of memorization for the lab portion though (human anatomy, muscle names and functions etc.)

    i see....thanks for your comment!! but i think i will take kin 140 or 110 instead, because i think i would not be interested in memorizing muscle names....lol
