As a math major i must agree that a BA is much harder than a BSc.
simply because there is no way of knowing what opinion the teacher wants you to have on some random irrelevant topic.
I just recently passes the course history of math, tought by some history PhD. but it honestly was the hardest course I ever took.
Just immagine

It depends ENTIRELY on the professor. If you luck out you'll get a moderately interesting class where you learn about cultures and how various Jews with PhDs are the scum of the Earth.

Chances are you'll get a shit for brains professor though and will spend the entire class learning about why you are evil.

Highlights of my sociology class:

>Dominoes is inherently racist; the concept of pizza delivery is, by its very nature, racist.
>Denny's is inherently racist; the concept of cheap flapjacks is, by its very nature, racist.

You're confusing the Bachelor of Arts with the Bachelor of Fine Arts/Bachelor of Art.

Bachelor of Arts is for humanities subjects in general, and can basically include anything qualitative. It can include art subjects, but is generally limited to subjects related to but not directly involved in the production of art, eg. art history, applications of art in architecture, museum curation, etc. It can also include plenty of applications of hard sciences too, eg. the aforementioned architecture.

It's basically a catch-all for basically anything that isn't restricted to a very specific domain or method of study, or simply the degree that you choose when you want to study something like a science, but you don't want to do everything science. Although I understand that last part doesn't quite apply to American students, who seem to be forced into spending a quarter of their degrees in generalised courses anyway.

>tl;dr 4chan pretends like arts is all courses about Afro-Carribean Women's Empowerment and 14th Century Basque Millinery Techniques, but only a brainlet would be that gullible to think that's statistically accurate

I almost accidentally double-majored in Philosophy because I was padding my GPA with easy As from it. Once you've read Descarte or Kant or Rawls you know their work and you can take as many classes as you want on them and pass.

Philosophy classes fall into two categories: Reading quizzes over material some other dude wrote in the past and what he meant by it and how it stood or fell with time, and learning the rules to games of logic and critical thought. Both are trivial to prepare for, so you can take 2 per term while still taking a full math/science load and reap two guaranteed A's.

have a BSc but did a BA in my first year before switching. Didnt have to show up in a BA and got top marks, not worth while for the amount of money you put in as most of it is common sense. Science was more challenging and had a larger work load, you could still hardly attend class but you couldnt make all your grades up doing two good essays. The only people that think BA's are hard are people in an arts degree, they have no comprehention of what a large workload or intense study is.I had a mate in BA that complained because he had uni more than 3 times a week....
>>
>>8992989

Yeah probably. A BSc is mostly learning facts and models which are based off logic and therefore make sense.

A BA is more about subjectivity and creativity, which I'm not very good at.

Saying BScs don't require creativity because you can rote learn math is like me arguing BAs don't require creativity because you can rote learn grammar and spelling.

That's true though.
It is way harder to qualify for a job, a career, the respect of your fellow man, or even survive paycheck-to-paycheck with just a BA.

Guess it makes sense though, with how piss-easy it is to get a BA. Linguistics follow pure logic, but are the logical equivalent of building Lego, creative writing is hard to fuck up if you've ever read/watched/heard a decent story before, and psychology courses teach some cool stuff anyways so it's easy to pay attention and do the research papers. On top of that, they have all kinds of bullshit give-away credits now where they can give you 3 years' worth of courses in which you're guaranteed an 'A' if you can just overanalyze something until you come up with a reason why it's discretely racist/sexist/'problematic'. They'll practically give you a BA if you ask nicely and say please.

Sucks that all the fee-fee courses completely undermine the value of a BA by being on the same qualification level as years of physiological psych (functional neuroanatomy) study, the study of word-formation/language/speech-disorders, the nuanced study of any/all periods of human history, and/or all of the above.

Now

Illustration and painting are legitimately difficult and technical skills.

You basically have to train your mind/eyes to see 3D space on a 2D plane. You have to make the mental translation between particles of light into the locations of shades of color, in order to replicate the image you've constructed in your mind, piece by piece, layer by layer, onto the flat, blank paper/canvas in front of you until you've created such an image as to portray, even to the untrained layman, the representation of a distinct image in a distinct context, both of which only truly exist as a fictional construction in the artist's mind.

I have mad respect for creators of visual art (and no, I'm not talking about photo editing or website design).

Is biochemistry the hardest then?
Requires scientific rigor and the ability to write which is at the discretion of the reader.

It's literally humanities and stem combined.

>>8992989
If only English 101 and English 102 were required for that BS. Oh, wait, they are.

>skip all the lectures
What school did you go to? Mine the professors got to set their own attendance policy, and the humanities people were all total hardasses about it. One guy made you print out a couple dozen pages before each lecture and would make you absent if you didn't have it (or if you were a minute late). A few absences and they start marking you down.

This argument is always weird to me.

Math was a BA when I was an undergrad, unless someone took the applied or computer science option.

/sci/ should know better than to fall for clickbait

Lefty shit like this rarely (pretty much never) gets espoused by the Sun.
>>
>>8993648

But you're only saying it's hard because of human bias, not because it really requires greater intelligence.
>>
>>8998579

Your post was someone on /sci/ showing a good knowledge of the processes involved. Can you see a typical BA being able to write in a similar way about even basic calculus?
>>
>>8992989
I can do both, while you can maybe do half at best.

True. Last semester, I was finishing up my last humanity's prereq. Around 7% of the grade was attendance and I barely ever attended lecture. Still got an A because I got 100s in all my assignments. I heard people bitch about how hard the class is.
>>
>>8993019
Same, passed my humanities classes without barely attending any of the lectures

[Spoiler]then again, this was also the case for my STEM classes[/spoiler]

its actually a pretty decent university.
our usual classes don't involve liberal arts and they are pretty good actually.

BA courses for me are impossible to fail but very difficult to ace. Whereas, I if I know all the material in a STEM course and how to apply it, I'll ace it.

STEM is easy to fail & very difficult to ace.

STEMS wins

>>8992989
I tend to agree.

I've studied physics in one of Europe's more prestigious universities for 7 years. I've delved in thermal quantum field theories, Einsteinian general relativity and black holes, I've manually calculated second order corrections in quantum electrodynamics - and while this was all tough and hard, I can honestly say that it's doable.

One look into my housemate's feminist research book - fuck that; not even they understand what the Dickens they're talking about.

Science is easier because it makes sense on a fundamental level.

ITT /sci/ autists either fail to read anything past the headline in the picture or are too dense to recognize satire.

Which one is it gonna be?

Yep, "creative writing" is so much harder.
>>
>It's a woman
Of course.
>>
Is there a biological reason woman tend to be so shit at critical thinking and have to make retarde excuses or make bullshit fields like Social sciences?
>>
>>8992989
My favourite part of this is the fact that she goes from "BAs are significantly harder than BScs" to "Well we need each other and I just don't like being told my degree is easy", since it becomes obvious the first statement is total horseshit.
Still not sure if this is satire though
>>
>>9002450
Maybe you should chose a line of study more in line with your abilities.
>>
>>9002458
You just qualified for a BA because you generalized the shitty opinions of one woman to all women.
I'd like mine with extra cheese, thx.

Given the fact that you're probably male I like how you are contradicting your own garbage hypothesis.

It's way harder because they have no use full skill to trade for money to pay back their loans.

yeah that happened to me in college

my major profs don't care at all.
all my gen eds had like pop quizzes and mandatory attendance policies and shit like that. my friend literally would have auto failed her class if she missed more than 4 lectures.

That's pretty variable then.

Architecture requires a crap ton of work. The people I knew taking it would put couches, fridges, and microwaves in their design space because they would sleep their frequently.

Other BA degrees? Definitely not as rigorous.

The best part is that "hon" is the correct form, because it's short for "honey".

true, but just because you can write a sentence doesnt mean you can do maths.
also, balance an equation? i mean come on
>>
>>9005562
well, maybe that's what she's trying to imply
>>
>>8992989
I can balance an equation and write a sentence. Look, I just did the latter. How does it work then?
>>
I studied a BSc in Computer Science and Math, with a BA in Greek and Latin, which amounted to two three year degrees where I live. I'd say the Greek/Latin was harder only because the complicated grammer was a horror.

Getting points for showing up is how you can tell they're not actually teaching anything.
