获得荣誉学分
Honors work takes place through Honors Contracts made with a faculty member in a class he or she is currently teaching. Students must be enrolled in the course to be eligible to do honors work in the course. Any student who qualifies for the 荣誉项目 can create an Honors Contract for any class (with the instructor’s partnership). Upon completion of the requirements of the Honors Contract 和 earning a grade of B or higher in the course, the student will receive Honors credit for the course. The actual Honors Contract is a short document prepared by the student in collaboration with the course instructor that changes the course into an Honors course.
To begin the process of creating an Honors Contract, the student will meet with the instructor before the course begins or shortly thereafter. When the instructor 和 student have agreed upon the terms of the Honors Contract, they should fill out an Honors Contract Proposal form. This form must be submitted to the 荣誉项目 Director by the fourth week of the semester.
老师经常, 但并非总是如此, agree to substitute the Honors Contract work for a significant course assignment or weight it heavily in calculating a final course grade. Honors work should be of special interest to the student 和 involve more time 和 effort than typical course assignments. While many Honors Contracts may involve writing a paper, this is not always required. Fieldwork or other assignments may be an appropriate basis for the project.
Recognition of Honors Work
All courses with Honors Contracts that the student completes with a grade of B or better will be marked as Honors courses on the official transcript. Students do not need to graduate from the 荣誉项目 in order to take courses with Honors Contracts; however, they must maintain a cumulative 3.2 GPA in order to be eligible to take Honors courses.
