<p>I see these 300 level honors classes listed but no info about them. Does anyone know anything-
$25 K question
Spirit in Colors
Mentor Entrepreneurship
And do they qualify as W as well?
S needs some W’s & might want to take an honors course before it’s too late.</p>
<p>Also, any scoop on the 2 credit honors photo class? How much work is it? And 70’s Cinema???
Of course getting in any of these classes seems like the luck of the draw since they are small sections& only offer 1 class</p>
<p>The kids I’ve known have LOVED the photo class.</p>
<p>The Mentor Entrepreneurship class sounds good!</p>
<p>If an Honors class has the W designation, then it does count for upper division W requirement (need a total of 6 credits). However, just to CYA, I would get an advisor approval (from major) that the major will accept THAT writing class. Some majors have required W classes. So check.</p>
<p>Is there info posted on any of these classes somewhere? There is nothing when you click on catalog entry.</p>
<p>This might help: </p>

<p>idk what your child’s standing is, but i wouldn’t count on getting in to the photo class.</p>
<p>my daughter has tried for that class several times and never gotten it.</p>
<p>Did you look here
<a href=“http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/uploads/forms/Current%20Students/honorscourses_interim_summer_fall2012.pdf[/url]”>http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/uploads/forms/Current%20Students/honorscourses_interim_summer_fall2012.pdf</a> scroll down for fall classes (this is for last Fall, but the classes may be there with descriptions.)</p>
<p>FYI…Departmental Honors classes

<p>Oh right, I was thinking he’d have jr standing, but not until after this semester.</p>
<p>I’m not sure he would want to take photo anyway. He had 4 years of photo in hs & loathes being told what to take pics of. </p>
<p>I’m sure some of the others are long shots as well.</p>
<p>So difference in Honors Micro & Macro Econ v. Regular. Any opinions?</p>
<p>Idinct…</p>
<p>Yes, the photo class is hard to get into (they need more sections!)</p>
<p>But I don’t think those others you listed would be as hard…maybe the Mentor class will be hard.</p>
<p>Don’t know how the regular sections are, but I’ve found the honors sections of micro/macro econ to be very easy. Professor Aldridge, for instance, (teaches honors micro/macro) gives so much extra credit it’s challenging not to make an A+.</p>
<p>Thanks ClockworkUA – good stuff to know on the Micro/Macro Eco</p>
<p>My D did not care for Prof. Aldredge. She’d taken Econ in HS & understood the material but didn’t enjoy his classes. She ended up dropping it and picked up a regular section this semester (I’d need to double check the professor) that is a much better fit for her. She’d already had lots of honors classes, so that wasn’t the issue. Sometimes the professor/student fit isn’t there even if there are high ratings on RMP.</p>
<p>Daughter is finding that many of the UH classes listed at <a href=“http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/uploads/forms/Current%20Students/honorscourses_interim_summer_fall2012.pdf[/url]”>http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/uploads/forms/Current%20Students/honorscourses_interim_summer_fall2012.pdf</a> that have no mention of being freshman only are listed as such and are closed on Mybama.</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Can you clarify?</p>
<p>Please give particular classes. If they are frosh classes, then they’re probably “closed” right now because BB hasn’t started yet.</p>
<p>Sorry should have thought to list them.</p>

<p>The HC listing doesn’t state they are freshman only, but they are showing as freshman only on mybama and therefore are closed.</p>
<p>It looks like the HC has decided to name a few of the honors exploration classes as frosh only.</p>
<p>They’re probably going to open a few seats for each honors BB session.</p>
<p>That is what daughter thinks. She was disappointed since used the HC list to read the descriptions and thought those classes would be interesting. Oh well, I think she has decided to take the IHP class instead. She is finding it difficult to fit UH courses into her daily schedule…art studios are big chunks of time!</p>
