Essays and Time for Upper Level SDC History and Psychology Classes

[d.cononge]

I am a Liberal Studies Major at TESU. I need 5 Upper Level Credits. I am most interested in History Classes followed by Psychology. 
How hard are the essays? I have gone on and read the prompts. But how long did it take you to write them and how much work was it to find acceptable sources. In the History courses, it concerns me when it says Primary Sources. 
I know you can resubmit them twice, so that makes me feel better. 
Also, if I do extremely well on the quizzes and the test, how important are the essays? I know they're worth 1/3 of the grade. Not that I would intentionally not try to do well on the essays.
       

The Upper Level History classes I see are: The American Civil War Era 
                                                             A History of the Vietnam War
                                                             The Holocaust I

The Upper Level Psychology Classes I see are: Industrial/Organizational Psychology. 
                                                                   Psychology of Personality
                                                                   History and Systems os Psychology 

I know that some Upper and Lower level classes overlap but I don't need anymore Lower Level classes from SDC. 

Thank-You in advance!

I recently finished taking both I/O Psychology as well as History and Systems of Psychology. I/O Psych was only 1200-1500 words (I wrote this in roughly 3-4 hrs, really easy). History/Systems Psychology was 2000-3000 words, and I wrote this in under 2 days. Both are pretty easy courses as well as essays, and with half-hearted effort, I managed 70+ points on both of the essays. Finished each course in about a week total a piece, 3-5 hours every day.
