<p>Original thought in the first week? Humanities students go to lectures every week to listen what a professor has to say. Then they often regurgitate what the professors says on exams. As for writing essays, I wouldn’t call it “original” thought when you are pretty much given a topic to write on and a certain direction to take the composition.</p>
<p>As for the foundation of early science courses, you were the one who said it was memorization. So yes, I agree it is ridiculous. </p>
<p>For most people the sciences take a lot more effort to absorb and comprehend than the humanities. The length and difficulty of absorption make science “harder.”</p>
