<p>For engineering majors, what kind of workload is there for non-math or science classes? I'm in at WP, and I'd probably major in either Mechanical or Civil Engineering. I am not that great nor do I like most english classes, and I'm worried about college papers to write.</p>
<p>Your first two years, you'll have no say in the classes you take.
Plebe year will be Chemistry (2 semesters), two math semesters, two english semesters, 2 history semesters, basically things like that.</p>
<p>Yearling year is about the same, 2 semesters physics, two semesters math, philosophy, american politics, physical geography, all kinds of fun stuff.</p>
<p>You wont get into your major until at least second semster of your sophomore year. Get used to taking classes you dont like, and you'll be writing plenty of papers, as well as doing plenty of math and science. It's all fun...</p>
<p>LOTS of papers. Lots and lots and lots. And look forward to the 20 or so pages of the AP paper, and the 28 or so pages of the Sosh paper.</p>
<p>by 20 or 28 pages of THE paper, do you mean theres like one really big paper for the whole year for each class, then many smaller papers?</p>
<p>depends on the class. plebe english usually has like 5 4-5 page papers, AP and Sosh have like 20 page papers, history will have 2 8 page papers, etc</p>
<p>What is the testing like? When it comes to essay based tests, I'm terrible. I'm an above average writer, but my style often sets me over the time limit on tests. Quite frankly, the time constraints of West Point life in general are going to be the biggest hurdle for me to overcome. I'll adapt, though, like we'll all have to.</p>
<p>You'll have to write an essay for the English Tee. You'll get 3.5 hours--that's a good amount of time.</p>
<p>Check out the Academic link on the WP website. Information about all majors and the generic class schedules for all can be found there.</p>
