<p>Does Wellesley assign a lot of papers, specifically in the Psychology major and Women's Studies?</p>
<p>Also, is the workload pretty challenging? I am assuming it is.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input.</p>
<p>I didn't take any courses in psychology, and I only took one course in women's studies, so this is a pretty broad generalization ....</p>
<p>Most of the humanities courses I took generally assigned one or two short papers and one long, final paper. Additionally, there were some courses that also assigned weekly response papers (very short--maybe a page or two), and some that assigned projects, rather than papers. And then there were courses that deviated entirely from this pattern (a helpful description, I know).</p>
<p>The workload varies from professor to professor, and keep in mind that you'll have significant amounts of reading, on top of papers. How much pressure this exerts on you is completely dependent on your involvement in other activities, your degree of organization, and your inclinations toward procrastination. Some students find the workload to be very stressful, and others find that they're perfectly able to balance all of it and still get eight hours of sleep a night. (I would highly recommend getting that much sleep--it's amazing how much more productive you can be.)</p>
