Workload and assignments
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 1 course long before PHYSCI 191. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for PHYSCI 191 in Fall 2025 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for PHYSCI 111A, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
