It's quite difficult, in fact. You have to write a ton of papers in which you must explicitly state what it is you're talking about. It isn't like an essay in a writing course.

Not to mention the texts they have you read are quite dense and often take multiple readings and discussions to fully ascertain the meaning of.

Also, logic was required for my minor and that was probably one of the toughest courses I had ever taken.
