<p>I TA’d for PHY 303K last spring and currently the PHY 303K uses a new curriculum: matter and interaction. I can’t say if it’s necessarily better or worse than the good old physics curriculum. But it’s true that we had 3 homeworks per week and I think they’re reasonable. A lot of the questions are pretty easy but there are a couple hard ones. I personally don’t think PHY 303K is that and there are a lot of A’s. Most of the complaints of physics classes being hard seem to be wrong.
M 427K will make PHY 303K very easy if the class made you appreciate differential equations and its connection to physics.
Sorry if I sound like a jerk but I wouldn’t trust any engineer who can’t pass PHY 303K and L at UT. But, I think your class load seems reasonable to me; I’m sure you’ll learn a lot that semester.</p>
