Sounds like a great course. How exactly did that course fit into the Cornell curriculum? Was it an elective for most people or could it substitute for algebra/calc based physics?


Cornell has two sets of requirements. The requirements for your college within the university, and the requirements for your major. This course fulfilled the distribution requirements for the college I was in. However, it wouldn't necessarily count as one of the required science classes for your major. So, for example, if you were a physics student then it wouldn't count toward your major, so therefor it would make more sense to take another class that you could count toward both your major and your college distribution requirement. Sorry if this is unclear, it's kind of complicated.


Thanks, that made sense.
