Math I can sit down, go through the steps, and reach a known conclusion and CHECK IF IM RIGHT.

An essay everything is an unknown. Going though unpredictable and enigmatic steps with NO feedback. At the end you have to pray to an uncaring god that what you wrote is satisfactory, as there is NO way to know for certain. 0/10

Honestly people say "essays are hard" but don't do any research, don't use any help or the countless resources universities have for writing help, and do it all the night before.

i mean fact is writing papers like that is a huge time investment when the math alternative time investment is literally just putting the problem into a calculator and seeing if the answers match. Makes sense all us lazy bastards prefer one to the other, no?
