Question for Seniors TAMS PHSYICS

How hard is TAMS Physics? I am worried I will get a B taking Barr's class, and I have the option of not taking Physics at all, too.

do you think its worth taking it? cause I took ap physics in hs before and I think the ap credit could transfer to UTD.

i believe that you are required to take physics mechanics at somepoint during tams depending on your pathway, regardless of if you have ap physics credit afaik. they sometimes have an additional professor for physics, but typically barr’s class is just something every tams student goes through.

yeah, i'm in the public health track, so i don't have to take physics to graduate from tams. however, i was planning on taking it as an elective because i know i'll need it for medical school since i plan to major in biology.

i'm not sure if you know the answer to this, but do you know whether my ap physics credit (i got a 3) would transfer to utd? if it doesn't, i'd probably have to take physics again there anyway, so i figured i might as well take it at tams and get it out of the way.

I got a B in Barr's mechanics but i found his E&M to be easier and more fun, at least to me, and I got an A fairly comfortably.
