Thanks, Sharron!
Do you have specific criteria for writing intensive courses? It sounds
as though you may not need them if the courses have been developed from
scratch within this model, as opposed to the usual practice of letting
students choose among a long list of courses that have been "certified"
in some way. But I'd love more retails.
