Completely agree with you on the subjectivity. I just finished a summer Composition course. Turned in a paper which was nitpicked down to an 85 percent. The next stage of the assignment was to expand this paper with more sources and roughly 500 more words. I changed nothing which was nitpicked, added my sources, and the added sources accounted for the additional word count so I called it done, since I was so sick of this instructor. The final paper grade was a 98 percent and labelled one of the best papers he had ever seen, despite the fact that all my so-called errors, which had previously annoyed him, were still in the paper. Even though I am pursuing a BS, I had always thought the STEM / Liberal Arts dichotomy was silly. Humanities professors, including this Composition instructor, are quickly changing my mind. I'm sure my luck will run out eventually, but every science and math course so far has been mostly objective and whatever score I get (all A's so far) is purely dependent upon my efforts. Based on the Composition instructor, as well as other humanities professors I've had, my grade is partially based on effort and partially a matter of what he had for breakfast that day. Really makes me want to write off entire departments as completely worthless.
