CHOOSE YOUR WORDS

intense / intensive / intent

If your teacher offered you a choice between an intense course or an intensive one, which one would you choose? And would you wonder what his intent was?

Intense means of severe strength or force; having strong feelings. An intense course, then, would be an extremely tough course, such as advanced nuclear science. Intensive means focused on one subject or area for a short time; extremely thorough. So an intensive course would be very focused on one topic and would last short time, as with summer courses. The teacher's intent, his purpose or intention, might be to guide you to the best course for you. Or it might be to fill his summer course.
