Erk. I don't disbelieve your claims but the very thought seems so bizarre to me. In the hard sciences you get to go do exams that are worth about 90% of the mark, mostly objective and based on some rules from nature that are fairly easy to grasp. The alternative is trying to learn an endless stream of teacher's passwords!
I'm surprised by your reaction. I didn't expect you to be ignorant of the fact of the grade percentages in different fields and what students find difficult. The situation may be different in Australia, but your reaction seems to be total ignorance of the median.
I'm told that there's an easy algorithm, maybe not for majoring in English, but for the small amount that's required of all american students: ask the other students. (this may not be fast enough for discussion, but it works for essays)
Don't confuse ignorance and self expression.
