<p>Thanks Hazel :o it’s been tough, but he was fantastic and I know it was time.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s fair to say humanities teachers can take on less work because they’re not researching and running labs and such. Many humanities teachers are guiding thesis(es), running research studies, and trying to read to keep up with current knowledge. On top of all of this, often their assignments are long papers that take hours to read. Their classes require lengthy presentations and seminars rather than throwing up equations on the board from a book. I actually think humanities classes put more stress on the professors than an engineering course would. At the same time, engineering professors often need to hold more office hours. So neither side of the academia world would benefit from piling more classes on teachers.</p>
