    The course I took was at a small private college, and was a 
calculus-based physics course...though you really didn't need to know any 
calculus to handle it just fine.  The school was a place where most all 
students came from rich families (except the occasional prof's kid, free 
tuition being a job benefit) and saw med school as the only way to make as 
much as their parents...causing a great many hopelessly-unqualified kids to 
take premed courses including that one.
