I wouldn’t call humanities easy. I did very poorly at them. I don’t dislike humanities, but if your grading system is going to be a bit subjective, I’d prefer not to be graded at all or at least just a pass/fail.

The teachers largely agree. They don't want to give the grades, either. They very much don't like the way they have to teach differently in order to give grades.

I suspect many would be happy to do pass fail.
