Title: Should I take general physics or general chemistry next year?
Post by: dashylia on Aug 3, 2012
I have 2 class openings for next year, and i have 3 class possibilities: Sales and Marketing (regular business class), physics, and chemistry

Honestly, all are easy classes.

here are course descriptions:
PHYSICS
Methods and application of physical measurement
? Mechanics
? Wave mechanics
? Color, light and/or sound and optics
? Other topics included but not limited to:
o Rocketry and Aerospace Science (SHS)
o Thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, Modern Physics (IHS)
o Thermodynamics, electricity, lunar astronomy (LHS)
CHEMISTRY
Structure of Matter: including atomic theory, the periodic table, chemical bonding with formula writing and
equations, molecular structure
? States of Matter: Gases, liquids, solids with physical, chemical and phase change and their
characteristics.
? Reaction types: acids, bases, and precipitation
? Equilibrium and reaction rates: gas and ionic equilibrium and factors affecting rates of reactions
? Thermodynamics: Energy changes in chemical and physical reactions
? Application of chemistry in daily life and environment
SALES AND MARKETING
Marketing
? Economics and distribution
? Securing and keeping a job
? Careers in marketing
? Human relations
? Business communications
? Management and operations
? Merchandising

I never had a decent chem professor, but it is definitely more conceptual, as opposed to physics which is essentially applied math.  I consider chemistry slightly more left-brained with memorization involved and chose that over physics which is all right-brain - an engineer's dream.
