Oh, so that means the instructor will be overwhelmed by student writing and must react to an avalanche of essays and research papers?
No, there is no avalanche. The principal advantage of teaching writing intensive sections is that the enrollment is kept small: 22 students, and in no case more than 25. This makes student centered teaching truly possible, and allows the instructor a realistic opportunity to react thoughtfully to the written work assigned.
