[quote=Anonymous]Not the PP you're responding to (actually, I'm the one that PP was agreeing with). As a Harvard undergrad (similar majpr to yours), I had the kind of workload you've described. But that that translated into less than 20 hours of reading and 12 hours of time spent in class. Most weeks, I didn't have more than 5-10 pages of writing due, and often not even that. And the reading was basically discussed (by students) once a week, so you had the whole week to do it rather than daily deadlines. When it was 1000 pages, IME, that meant 4 books, each of which was skimmable in a pinch.(50 twenty-page articles would have been a very different proposition! But it's just not that hard to read/understand 4 scholarly monographs per week, especially when you had lectures to provide context. And you weren't going to be writing anything major about most of the things you read). [/quote]
