<p>If there is a class that has a honors section discussion amd you choose that section, will that count as an honors course? Like will it count towards the 8 honors courses underclassmen In the honors program need to complete? Thanks!:)</p>
<p>Yep! For example, Intro to Women’s Studies often has a honors only discussion. But they may have changed it, so I would double check. You can always email your adviser for a list of classes. In actuality, you don’t need to fulfill the 8 honors courses (not required, just strongly suggested) - the only reason you would is only if you’re considering the sophomore honors award.</p>
<p>okay thank you!! also, what makes the honors section more difficult? is it more quizzes and papers ?</p>
<p>Honors Womens Studies?</p>
<p>That made my day…</p>
<p>Some classes also count towards your 8 honors classes if you take them way ahead of time. Rule of thumb is junior classes (300 level) in your freshman year; senior (400) in your sophomore year - but there’s exceptions to that both ways, and if you’re interested, the honors advisers have that information in a binder somewhere.</p>
<p>Wow PurpleDuckMan, really? Actually, I can’t tell if you’re being completely and utterly sarcastic or genuinely enthusiastic. But yeah, like I said, they do offer an honors only discussion. </p>
<p>Collegebound - it depends. In some classes, the difference is barely distinguishable. But (at least) in this WS class I took, we had stricter requirements and a higher standard for assignments, contributing to discussions, etc. The quality of work and class expectations were generally much higher.</p>
