<p>Hey everyone, I feel like I’ve seen the answer to this question but I can’t remember it and can’t find it, so, how many “hard,” as in requiring a LOT of effort and studying, do you recommend per semester? Also, are writing seminars relatively easy or considered “hard?” And if you could provide examples of classes to take that are easier so as to not overburden oneself that would be great! Thanks!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t take more than three tough classes per semester. When I mean tough, I mean classes that require a lot of demanding work. The writing seminar has a lot of assignments, but they aren’t necessarily demanding. Classes that I would consider very hard would be the honors science and math sequences in that they are conceptually difficult and the problem sets take a long time. The regular science and math sequences are also difficult but not quite to the extent of the honors sequences. I would also include classes that require a ton of reading in this list.</p>
<p>Easier classes you can take are usually humanities classes that don’t require much reading, although many humanities classes do have a lot of reading.</p>
