I guess I could have been misleading you. Yes, what aibarr said is true. College level physics, whether it’s calc-based or not, is hard. Like I mentioned at the end, you can self study to get a feel for the basic concepts, and just save a semester and dive into calc-based physics because there is no guarantee that you will get an A in non-calc based physics. It could be just as equally hard because it goes at a faster pace trying to cram a lot of information into one semester (I believe the course adds in some material from e/m and also some optics/waves and/or modern physics).

Do what you feel best suits your needs. And if you find yourself struggling, just make sure to go ask for help. There are also physics courses you can check out online such as through MIT’s Open Course Ware (OCW).
