Those type of assignments are part of what "inspired" my daughter to skip out on all her high school English homework, forget the humanities, and study engineering in college. On the one hand, great, we need more women in engineering, and she's good at it (and graduated from a top college). On the other hand, the humanities are great too and it would be nice not to turn people off to them with that type of mind-numbing work that is not only subjective in content but also subject to the desires of the professor.
