If the page total goal is so flexible, what then determines whether a section is writing intensive?
The key is the instructor guidance of the writing process, whereby students receive reactions, comments, feedback on their writing.

Oftentimes more than the instructor can correct or evaluate in detail. Writing becomes a major learning activity and a principal means by which students demonstrate their comprehension and express their own ideas about what they are learning..
