kingston Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hey guys, I have a question regarding York's anatomy (KINE 2031), Phys I (kine 2011) & research methods in kinesiology (KINE 2049). Do the course instructors give students tests from previous years to study from? Because i have found couple of people selling them online with there textbook and i would like to know, of course the tests wont be the exact same, but still they would make good study questions.

aaronjw Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Not sure but if you're offering to let others photocopy, I'd buy.. Me too. If you can get phys II as well id be down since im taking both I and II this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesky101 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I took both Phys I and II last year and the profs did not let us take the exams. We had to go into their office during specific times and look at it in front of them only.....not sure where people might have got them from.

sunshinesky101 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Phys I was pretty easy, mostly review of basic biology in the first half part of that anyways and then you start getting into the actual physiology and different systems. The exams were fair. Phys II was all about the systems and the exams were a little tricky in terms of how they were worded....but you have the lab component in phys II to help bring up your mark. Nonetheless, I found both courses to be very interesting, highly enjoyed them as that's the kind of stuff I like and coming from a biology background, it was somewhat easy for me. And taking both courses in a single year is a good idea since everything is interconnected and it will be fresh in your mind. Good luck! I am sure you will enjoy those courses too!

Should be interesting then given i have no formal biology courses under my belt (not even in HS). Lots of self study/learning over the years tho.

aaronjw Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 You'll be fine. I took it without HS bio and still got A's in both with minimal effort. Wu is a really, really good prof (and funny!). I couldn't understand Birot, but he doesn't start teaching until maybe halfway through the term so you'll have a decent background by that point which makes things easier. Also, a lot of the content in phys I is similar to the first half of bio1010. When I took bio the following year, I found that I barely had to study since I'd already covered everything! I like that! Since (if it's possible) I'd like to take 1010 in the summer! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanillabear Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 For anatomy and phys 1 the profs post up "sample questions" before the test. Your course kit will also have a few (read: 5-10) questions that you can use. You won't find whole tests for these courses because you are only allowed to see your grade online or the test paper in the prof's office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, I heard phys 2 was easier than 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmer08 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Odd, I heard phys 2 was easier than 1. She has a background in bio. We cover neuron and muscle physiology (which is half the content of phys I) in one lecture of cell bio lol. I haven't taken phys 2 (taking it this year) but I know it will not be a review like phys I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Anyone want to sell their phys i and ii textbooks? Just in the process of looking up all the text requirements for this year. If i cant buy used i think i'll borrow from the library temporarily amd buy from Amazon. Foumd two books that were 40% the price of csmpus bookstore. Robbery!

leap87 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Just so all of you know, you most likely won't be using either Phys I or Phys II textbooks. It is a waste of money. I took both of those courses, ended up with an A and A+ respectively and did not open the books once..... Edit: As for anatomy, buy the Gray's Anatomy book. It will help along the way (if Neil Smith is still teaching it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the mcat physio should be enough background knowledge for that course? I've already taken phys I and nutrition tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
