math 241 honors

<p>who knows anything about this course? Is it a lot more difficult than math 241 regular? Is it worth taking the honors level of it?</p>

<p>i have the same question as well. im current signed up for a normal section of 241, but i got a letter in the mail today about the honors program. im also a james scholar and i read that you need to take at least one honors class to maintain that, so does anyone know if this is a good class to take an honors section of?</p>

<p>i got a mail about honors section for math 231. so do we need to take extra classes if we choose to enroll this program?</p>

<p>I would like to know more about the math honor system as well. The letter they sent was very generic and it basically just said that I was qualified for math 241. Math 241 honors is most likely more difficult than math 241 regular. Looking at regular and honors, for regular there are classes 5 days for 50 minutes while for honors there are 4 classes for 50 minutes each. So I would think that there would need to be some sort of self learning involved because honors does cover more material.</p>

<p>psp- It’s just an honors class. You can choose to take regular or honors. For honors, it’s more difficult and most likely taught in smaller groups.</p>

<p>but the letter they sent me said something about first-come-first-served to enroll this program. so when do we sign up for it?</p>

<p>You get to be in a small class and do more direct derivations from first principles to get a deeper understanding. Pick it if you’re interested in very mathishly mathy math. The grading curve will likely be a little more lenient since you’re put in competition with other honors students only (i.e. no idiots to drag down the average) but overall it will be a bit harder to get the same grade as you would in the regular class.</p>

<p>but i already signed up for classes in june, and i just received this letter about honors. if i choose to take honors, do i still have to take the regular math i signed up for before?</p>

<p>^ no.</p>

<p>hey i took this class (math 241h). it was pretty good. i got to be in a smaller class with one of the better lecturers in the math dept. i say do it.</p>
