<p>Hey everyone, I am new here and a USC transfer student who just finished first day of classes at USC (looking forward to the film classes I have as electives)</p>

<p>I am pre-med student that has completed all the courses except for physics. right now I am enrolled in Physics 135a and hopefully 135b next semester.</p>

<p>I want to know if ppl have had horror stories with these classes. I hear BISC 120/220 are tough and definitely "weed-out" but I have already took those at my previous institution. How many ppl get A's and B's in physics 135? is it much easier than the other pre-med classes.</p>

<p>any advice would be awesome.</p>

<p>Both those Physic’s classes are the easiest pre Reqs . Find a tutor if you find the course material difficult especially in the b class.</p>

<p>A is typically easy regardless, B is typically harder especially the E&M part depending on the professor.</p>

<p>thanks for the advice. what are normally the averages for both 135a and 135b? What professor would you recommend for 135b? </p>

<p>Would you say physics 135 is much easier than the other pre-reqs or just a notch down, I ask bc I’m thinking of taking physiology with dr herrera but I heard that class takes a lot of studying.</p>
