<p>I should mention that the humanities courses are not exactly easy either, they just don’t build as linearly as the sciences. One of my philosophy courses required a minimum of 50 pages of writing. In another, we read a different novel for each class (once a week). My friends at Yale were shocked :-/. Of course, it all depends on the individual professor in the end. There was a decent amount of variation.</p>
