The simple answer is that college is different from high school. The longer answer
is that the whole idea behind the Intensive courses is to provide you, as a student,
with an integrated experience, based on a variety of types of work within each intensive
"category". One class may emphasize a writing experience which is brief and concise,
and may involve extemporaneous writing. Another may emphasize the idea of more lengthy
and considered work, such as formal research papers or lengthy critiques of other
work.
