<p>It should be noted that while generalizations can be helpful for people trying to get a feel for the school, the difficulty of a class isn’t necessarily institutionalized and it’s really more of a choice on the part of the teacher as to how hard they want to make it… You can have a Sosc class where you get grilled on the readings and therefore have to read 100 pages a night, closely, or a Sosc where the teacher explains the readings to you and you don’t have to read at all. It’s hard to quantify things like “average level of difficulty.”</p>
