<p>I could be wrong, but it seems like with math/science majors, once you’ve got the basics done, it’s just about building on what you know. In the humanities, however, it’s always about producing. It’s about coming up with more ideas and better ways of putting them. I don’t know that producing is as much of a problem in the math/sciences than it is in English/History/Sociology/Psych (I know it’s not a humanity)</p>
