<p>What were your favorite honors seminars and professors and why? I'm going to be a freshman in the Honors program this fall and I'm hoping to find out more information.</p>

<p>I'd also like to know. Specifically in the areas of economics, philosophy, and political philosophy.</p>

<p>HONR289Y - Novels and Who We Are, heck any literature class with Dr. Sibbie O'Sullivan
HONR248H - it's a class about delinquency and mental illness with Dr. Peter Leone...very interesting; counts for two CORE requirements</p>

<p>I hear HONR217 - Life, The Multiverse and Everything: Developing an Individual Cosmovision is a fun class.</p>

<p>There's a facebook group called "honors seminars" that you could look at.</p>

<p>My all-time favorite (not offered every semester): HONR268T - The Great Gatsby and American Culture with Dr. Cathy Barks. Everything about this course from the professor to the readings and the projects and discussion was wonderful.</p>

<p>HONR208W - Ghosts and Magicians in Performance with Dr. David Schlossman -- lit class, takes a good look at the history of urban legends, "scary stories", etc. Materials ranged from Hamlet to an excerpt from The Crucible to the movie The Sixth Sense.</p>

<p>I wish I'd had time to take more!! There are so many on the list that sound great.</p>

<p>Yeah I hear Dr. Barks is awesome. I think it's offered in the fall semester.</p>

<p>honr238t: the body and literature - Sibbie O'Sullivan</p>

<p>I would take anything with Sibbie. She's pretty awesome. Take note though. If you suck at writing you probably won't get an A. I got a B, but I would definitely take the class again. It was that much fun.</p>

<p>I heard you get to watch porn for HW.</p>

<p>Sibbie is awesome; I'm definitely taking another class from her when I get back from Spain.</p>

<p>thanks for all your responses! I was also wondering if any of you knew if the J.R.R. Tolkien seminar is good?</p>

<p>All I know is that it's extremely popular and fills up EVERY semester in like 10 seconds.</p>

<p>Another plug for Life, The Multiverse and Everything.... HONR217. D took 3 honors seminars (plus the intro/research one) this past school year ....this was hands-down, her favorite.</p>
