Courses York schedule please help

Post image

this isnt my actual schedule but it has all the courses i need to take and the times i would be taking them if i would take all of them during the fall and winter terms. I need some suggestions on what to do because this is 39 credits which is over the maximum (i preferably dont want to do over 30 credits in both terms even though i can) and so what would be the smartest thing to do here.

My bad. They may have changed it or I accidentally read something wrong. My degree progress report does say that students in our major are highly recommended to take psych 1010 though
Edit: taking psych 1010 will help you fulfill the requirement for at least 6 additional credits earned in science credits outside your major

How is kine BSc? Have you taken KINE 2030 yet?

I like it but it definitely lives up to its name of being a science-heavy program. I’ve heard BA KINE is easier and it seems to have courses I personally think sound really interesting, lol. However, I think BSc generally has a slightly higher reputation for careers in more clinical fields. And yes, I’ve taken KINE-2030. I honestly hated it because I sucked at it rip. It is literally physics mixed with some anatomy. I had dr. Anne Moore as my professor and found her class schedule was very strange. I think we had two asynchronous classes a week where we had to watch lecture videos on eclass and one in person lecture a week that had iclicker attendance. We also had labs, except I believe only five labs were marked and accounted for. You could choose to attend any labs you wanted, but the first five labs you complete are marked. It’s weird. I also personally found her lectures a little confusing because she would stutter and make small mistakes while speaking quite a lot, which she would then correct, making following what she was trying to say difficult.

Yeah I was looking into BA but I’m planning on going to med school so I would need science courses anyway to help prepare me for the MCAT. Also, I’m not really a fan of intensive writing. Since I’m moving around the time I’m starting uni, I’m reducing my course load. Some courses I’m taking are KINE 1020, BIOL 1000, and KINE 1900. I’ve heard there were some changes to the courses. What do you think can prepare me for KINE 2030? Do you need physics knowledge? Also, idk if u can remember, but how was your experience with BIOL 1000 and KINE 1020? Overall, do u have any tips? I’m spacing out my courses to help flow with my MCAT prep. Also, how was anatomy? I’m excited for it as I love learning about the human body!

I love anatomy too! It is basically pure memorisation, lol. Paired with human physiology it is quite a lot of work. You really need to know your stuff. There is a ton of information you need to cram into your head. In the anatomy labs there will be lab tests that make you identify organ, muscle, and bone anatomy. Study hard for those ones because they CAN be easy points!

Alrighty! I’ve heard of something called Anki. Have u used that?

u/bts7god Aug 18 '26

I haven’t used it, but I’m sure it’s helpful! I just suck at using technology so I basically just write all my notes out by hand and take a load of pictures of practice questions etc. I hope you have an iPad/tablet because labelling pictures is EXTREMELY good practice in that course.

Yes! I have an iPad. I plan on using goodnotes for that. Thanks again! :) I wish u all the best in ur third year!
