The honors curriculum is composed of a mix of 荣誉部分 and 荣誉的选择s. To fulfill their curricular requirements, honors students must take an average of one course (section or option) per semester for a total of six honors credits per year. Students who are admitted as incoming first-year students are required to take ENGL/CAS 137 and 138 in their first fall and spring semesters. The Schreyer Scholars served by the 十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校 荣誉项目 must take nine honors credits per year. All honors students are encouraged to take as many 荣誉部分 as interest them and fit into their schedules. Honors sections are designed for you; take advantage of them!
The 荣誉项目 offers special 荣誉部分 的课程. We hope that these serve two purposes: satisfy the honors student's requirement of taking one honors class per semester (on average) and also satisfy the student's general education requirements.
If the program is not offering a course that a student needs or can schedule, then the student can turn one of his/her regular courses into an 荣誉的选择. In this case, the student should fill out an 荣誉选择表格. Please hand this form to Laura Rotunno in 210 Hawthorn Building before the end of the third week of the semester.
Policies regarding the administration of Honors Sections
- Proposing and running an honors section: In order for a class to run as an honors section at 十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校, the Honors Coordinator must approve it.
- Controlled Registration: To sign up for an honors section, the student must bring a (filled out) drop/add form to the Honors Coordinator's office, or place the form in the coordinator's mailbox. Although we would like a reasonable number of students in each section (say, 十个学生), there is no minimum number for the classes to “make.”
- 50:50规则: The 荣誉项目 wishes to serve 十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校 honors students and Schreyer Scholars, and also the various programs at 十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校. However, care must be taken. First, a minimum of 50% enrolled students must be honors students in each section. Second, 荣誉部分 should include only motivated and prepared students.
- 荣誉的监督: All professors offering 荣誉部分 should submit their syllabi to the Honors Coordinator at the start of each semester.
- Honors sections that are under-enrolled with honors students: If a course has well below the 50:50 limit, then it will be converted to a normal section. To make it possible for the honors students to get honors credits, a "cohort 荣誉的选择" will be done. Each honors student in the class will fill out an 荣誉选择表格. To reduce the work for the professor giving the class, this project should be shared and agreed upon by all parties.
- Special procedures for independent study and research with faculty: 截至2008年1月, 十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校 will not use the Honors Option form for independent study (as it has in the past). Instead, we will use a separate Honors Independent Study Form 为此目的. This form allows for clearer accounting and looks better on the student's resume.
