Enrollment Question - Phys 2C before 2B?

JTC591 · 10-30-2009, 03:34 PM

I'll have finished Phys 2A and was planning to take 2B but have a time conflict. Is it common to take 2C before 2B - is it based on 2B material?

Michael Fogler is the 2C professor if anyone's had him before.

pretty sure you cant do that. 2b is a prereq for 2c...take a quarter off??? or try to petition i suppose, if youre a stellar phys student

They don't have related material. 2C is the easiest class in the series as well.

Actually there's 1 chapter that's related to 2B, but not completely necessary (people spend the off week between quarters forgetting 2B anyways).

And 2A was by far the easiest of the sequence (although I didn't take 2B, I remember it was hell studying for it in high school).
