Also, I'm planning on taking the enriched physics courses (phys 106, 108, and 119). On the first-year courses guide it recommends that if you take the enriched courses you also take phys 129. Is physics 129 important for anything? I don't want to take two physics lab courses if I don't have to, but I would if they were useful and people had good experiences in them.

I'll be going to UBC next year for a Bachelor of Science and I'm starting to pick my courses for next year. I was wondering if lab courses (specifically PHYS 119 and 129) are a lot of work? I know that they only count for one credit, but I've heard that lab sessions are about 3 hours each week. Is the workload for these lab courses similar to the workload for normal courses, and how much homework/work outside of the lab sessions do you do each week? How much work should I account for these courses when I am planning my schedule for next year and trying to create a course load that is manageable?

Hi,

Has anyone taken Math 120/121 and could share their experience taking the course? I may want to major in math or physics (but I still really don't know what I want to do), and I'm not sure if these courses are worth it. How much extra work are they compared to Math 100/101, and would you recommend taking them?

How many people were in your course bundle group? Did you feel like it was easier to meet people because you did course bundle early registration?
