which has the hardest course load for undergrad?

<p>

However in the non-humanities courses I have taken you often get problems where you apply a theory or concept that you learned in class to solve it, but you have never seen the same problem before. They never used examples they use in lecture whereas in humanities classes they did. This is what I mean by applying concepts and theory to solving problems whereas in my experience humanities course were more straightforward.

<p>I knew what you meant…I meant the same. This has been my experience in well-taught English, philosophy, history, and religion courses. If it wasn’t yours, I’m sorry. Your humanities courses must not have been a lot of fun!</p>

<p>I’ve only skimmed the last set of posts, but tetrishead’s #39 rang true.</p>

<p>To be clear, I don’t take issue with the claim that in general, more people will have an easy time passing a humanities course than a hard science/engineering course. That’s in general and in regards to the average student and the average course. I definitely agree that this is true. I take issue with blatantly incorrect characterizations of the humanities (as I have in other threads with people saying that math or science is “just memorization”…all this shows is ignorance, whether we’re talking about physics or philosophy).</p>
