<p>Students in the pre-med program at my university are required to take the calculus-based physics class. This is the class that all science, math, and engineering majors are required to take.</p>
<p>It appears that students in the pre-med program at KSU are not required to take c-based physics.</p>
<p>The only difference between the two versions of the class is the amount of math. Students in the trig-based class don’t have to prove equations (which often requires calculus). They won’t use instantaneous equations (which always requires calculus).</p>
<p>The labs don’t discriminate; it doesn’t matter which version of the class the student takes.</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that achieving a 4.0 in college is easy. It’s not. I’m saying, however, that a 3.5 (which isn’t a 4.0) is manageable.</p>
