I agree but I can't say I think it's good.
I would tolerate it if my teachers spoke anything other than broken English and Urdu but, alas here we are.

Because college should be hard and technical communication is important. Better question is why are the humanities not like this?

Completely reasonable for a majors course. The proofs and codes for the assignments in my upper level mechanics course in undergrad were pushing 10-15 pages a week.

undergrad is similar everywhere. The texts are the same, there are no breakthroughs studying classical mechanics or electromagnetism
