I think its for non-physics/engineering majors but its calculus based. Apparently there's a lab, discussion, and class 3 times a week. Is it really difficult and are the sections mandatory? I'm thinking about taking either this or Phys 1101 but I'm not good with autotutorial since I'm a bit of a procrastinator. 1101 is probably easier though just because its not calculus based.

2207, from what I know, is a MASSIVELY dumbed down version of 1112 as 2208 is a really dumbed down 2213; the instructor just throws formulae at students and says, "This works....I'm under the assumption you don't know the math needed to derive this so just accept that it's true". Also, I think the class exists mostly so pre-meds can take physics without having an engineer go in and totally screw the curve up for them.
