<p>how many hours do u spend reading/preparing for that class? r there more writing or reading? wat about Humanities (S/A)?</p>
<p>R humanities classes a lot harder than writing classes?</p>
<p>I remember back in freshman year the people who were in humanities were always reading and had tons of books. But of course it's like an 8 unit class or something isn't it? so it should be harder.</p>
<p>Writing 39B (the first one you take if you passed the subject A) is easy. You do like 4, 2-3 page papers.</p>
<p>Writing 39C is more of a challenge. It's a 10 week long argument and research class where you pick a topic and research it all quarter. You do papers and assignments along the way on it, then at the end you put it all together and hand in the final paper. I had a really hard professor (Puente) who gave me a B- and said my research and paper layout was A work, but my grammar knocked me all the way down to a B-. Jeez.</p>
<p>i wonder if 1 humanities class has as much work as 2 classes or writing</p>
<p>Humcore is not as much work as two classes. It is a good amount of reading (if you do it all), three essays per quarter and of course midterm and final. I think there are more threads where alicantekid and I talked about it in a little more detail. I think that overall, humcore will be less work because of the requirements it gets rid of and it really isn't 8 units of work IMO.</p>
