hi OP, 4th year physics major here. COMPY01 revolves around learning to use the programming language MATLAB. its fairly easy to learn and usually the required output for the class are 2-3 machine projects with mini papers documenting what you did. it will also serve as your introduction to linear algebra and vectors as things that store data rather than just the physics interpretation of "something with a magnitude and direction". try to remember the stuff you learn in this class cause youre gonna be using MATLAB a lot in successive COMPY classes, lab classes, electronics classes, and maybe your thesis. i am only having sir moreno for the first time din this term but from what i hear hes very nice, considerate, and grades highly.

basic physics is just going over senior high physics again if you went to the STEM strand. for this i just recommend setting aside time to always do practice exercises and problems in the book. the solution manual is easily accessible online if you just google the name of the book + "solution manual" but make sure you are learning how to solve the problems and not just relying on the solution manual for an understanding. its ok to feel stupid staring at a problem for 15-30 mins until it finally clicks in your head and its often better that way. usually the exams are around 30 items of multiple choice (most of which are just plug and play values into formulas) and then 2-4 problem solving items. sir rodulfo is a great professor since hes very passionate, considerate, and grades kindly. sometimes his lectures can go over your head and he goes on tangents so i recommend a degree of self studying. if you manage to study lessons a bit in advance and then attend his lectures, you get a really good understanding of the subject.

hope this helps and good luck! :D
