<p>What's the difference between an honor class and a regular class? For example, Orgo chem and honors Orgo chem.</p>
<p>honors classes are smaller, usually intended for majors, go through more material in the same amount of time, is usually more challenging, and the mean is higher. i think that's about it.</p>
<p>Some majors require that you take the honors version of a course.</p>
<p>The only two I'm familiar with is gen chem and orgo. You should def. take honors gen chem if you are planning on being a chem major. Honors orgo is much smaller than the normal orgo class (40 students per class compared with 600 students) so it's a good class to get to know your professors and get more individualized attention.</p>
