FSU Honors Application

Not sure if I’m technically allowed to ask things about the application questions but I’m completely lost!

“Every freshman at Florida State University is required to enroll in special topics courses during their first year of college that engage them in broad, critical and creative thinking about contemporary problems and the enduring issues of human existence. You have been given the task of developing this course. What would you title the course? What two readings would you assign? And what would you hope the students learn as a result of this course?”

I have a “question” in mind for the course I need to develop, but how do I choose readings to assign? I’m most likely overthinking this but I’m not sure if I should actually be putting in research to find academically acceptable pieces which discuss my question.

Probably overthinking. My son had a question in mind, he googled the question, and then picked the two most “reputable” sources that addressed that question in some way, or shed light on some aspect of it. One happened to be an academic article, the other was a book.

@Trisherella Thank you! I’ll do the same.

do y’all know if I can apply honors if I got accepted regular?

@bashkuradu I’m pretty sure you can! I don’t see anything about it being invite-only on the website, but you can see if you were invited on the Online Status Check. You can access the application from the FSU Honors page, so I’m assuming that any admitted FSU student may apply.

Good luck!!
