你可以提交尽可能多的课程建议. 经荣誉主任和大学荣誉委员会批准后, 当空间允许时,您的课程将被添加到适当的学期时间表中. Please note that acceptance of a course proposal does not guarantee its placement into a given semester’s schedule. With the large number of course requests we receive, it is helpful to plan ahead as far as possible.
If you are interested, you may also ask to visit an HN course taught by one of your colleagues.
In the ideal Honors classroom, everyone is an indispensable resource, students and faculty alike. 在学期初花点时间熟悉一下. 向学生传达你的期望. (你可以把教学大纲中的一些问题和关注转移到课堂上.)给学生一个提出想法和表达期望的机会. Such a discussion may be particularly fruitful if it is scheduled sometime after the students are acquainted with the material, 指导员和对方. 为此目的, 你可能希望提交前几周的部分教学大纲, 然后在听完学生的演讲后,塑造剩下的部分.
整个学期, 太, 评估课程进度并邀请学生提出意见. 如果学生参与计划,他们会对自己更负责. 当课程似乎停滞不前时, provide yourself and the students with a brief period of reflection in order to consider modifications. 为获得最好的结果而制定路线. 大多数优等生都会欢迎这个挑战. 教那些投入的学生.
除了, 一些有限的课程发展基金可以先到先得, 标间. 这些资金是为了帮助你进行课程规划:书籍, 演讲嘉宾, 实地考察旅行, 活动门票, 等.

Honors students come to HN courses with many assumptions about what will happen in your class, 这些假设可能与你的假设相符,也可能不相符. 除了, some students also may have signed up for a course that interested them but was not their first choice. For these reasons it is important that you take time in the beginning of the semester to describe the goals and tasks for the semester. From the very start, explain your vision of the course and your policies and expectations. Ask the students what they expect from the course and try to include at least some of what they mention.
记住,优等生想要投入——不允许有严格的讲课课程!
Please note that Honors students are used to being held accountable not just for getting assignments in on time or coming to class, 也为他们自己的创造力和智慧. 学生通常愿意帮助设计课程的部分内容, 分级要求, 卓越标准, 等.
经验丰富的杰出人士, 优等生很注重成绩, yet they want the emphasis in their Honors courses to be on learning rather than grades. 他们需要鼓励去尝试新想法,承担他们不愿承担的风险. 他们希望评分包括课堂讨论, 参与, and demonstration of critical thinking (rather than just proof that they read the books). Honors students must earn at least a B in an HN course in order for it to count toward completion of the 荣誉项目 requirements. 然而,考虑到皇冠投注学生的高知名度,这一要求很少成为问题. 不觉得调整评分有压力吗.
皇冠投注的学生有各种各样的技能, 兴趣与抱负, 作为一个项目,皇冠投注试图尽可能多地适应这种多样性. We understand learning goals as descriptive rather than prescriptive markers that guide our effort to realize the highest and broadest possible level of education, 优秀学生的个人成长和成就. 总的来说,皇冠投注网的荣誉课程提倡:
- 跨学科教育
- 互动,讨论导向的调查
- 通过个人和小组工作进行个人和协作学习
- 研究与创意
- 优秀的口头和书面表达能力
- 愿意探索新的知识领域
- 创新的学习方法(不同的,而不是更多的,工作)
- 密切的师生合作
所有HN课程都促进跨学科和互动学习. 通过跨学科, 然而, 皇冠投注指的不仅仅是文科或美术课程, 或者是那些像全球和历史研究这样的课程. 一门采用密切相关的方法论的课程.g., 自然科学的, 是一门融合了文学的跨学科课程吗, 电影, 历史, 音乐与哲学. 同样重要的是教学法的互动性. 在每个HN课程中, 学生和教师是学习过程中的伙伴, 课堂讨论频繁, 开放和冒险是受到鼓励的. 学生们希望能全身心地投入到荣誉课程中, 不仅仅是彼此之间, 还有他们的教授.
Students who have been admitted to 皇冠投注 and have a combined SAT score of at least 1380 or a composite ACT score of 30 and are in the top 7% of their high school graduating class are eligible to apply to the honors program. Invitations are then issued on the basis of the quality of the students’ academic curriculum, 课外/领导活动, 以及他们的申请论文.
学生也可以在来到皇冠投注后加入该计划. 要被邀请就读皇冠投注网,学生的平均成绩必须达到3分.大学一年级第一学期学分达到或超过16学分, 提交一份积极的教员推荐信. (同样适用于在一年级结束前完成32学分的学生.)学生也会在老师积极推荐的基础上被录取.
优等生善于表达,认真负责,勤奋努力,充满好奇心. 他们的阅读、思考、写作和分析能力都很好. They enjoy being included as active participants in the learning process and thrive in class discussions. They take honors courses to “get outside of the box” of their majors and other classroom environments. 简而言之,与荣誉学生一起工作很愉快.
Non-honors students are allowed to enroll in all honors courses if there are open spots in the courses after all honors students have registered. 请联系助理主任Jason Lantzer to obtain permission to enroll, if you are not a member in the University 荣誉项目.
你的荣誉课程很可能会有来自不同专业的学生, one of the things we often hear from students who complete the University 荣誉项目 is that they valued their honors courses because they were outside of their major and they got to interact with students outside of their discipline.
哪些教师可以获得荣誉教学? We encourage faculty from across the university to teach honors courses on any topic that interests them. Your honors class topic does not have to be in your area; for example, we’ve had a biology professor teach on the Western Gunfighter and a music professor teach on the 历史 of powered flight. 利用你的荣誉课程跳出你自己的框框!
HN课程有两个学分,每周上一到两次课, and how much to assign (readings and projects) tends to be a common question among the faculty. 与数量同等重要的是工作量的性质和质量. Please consider projects and activities besides the conventional reading and writing assignments that will engage your students’ intellect and creativity throughout the semester. True, most Honors students can read and process more information than do regular students. 然而,, 优等生也可能会问更多的问题, 想要更深入地研究文本, 对他们所读的内容有更多要说的吗, 彼此不同意. 所有这些都表明,在教授荣誉学生时,皇冠投注更喜欢深度而不是数量.
学期项目和写作作业自然因课程而异, 从一个老师到另一个老师. 皇冠投注建议定期布置作业,以促进互动式学习. 简短回应文件, overnight-writes, weekly take-home questions and the like all help increase the amount and quality of classroom discussion. 除了, term projects (conventional term papers or innovative projects) add scope and focus to the students’ learning. 而你的作业应该培养独立思考和探究, 还要考虑课堂外小组学习的好处. Honors students appreciate and function productively in projects that involve groups or even the entire class. When assigning individual or group term projects, consider scheduling time for student presentations.
制定一个好的教学大纲就像练习预防医学. 以前的荣誉教师建议荣誉课程的教学大纲简洁而全面, 并包括以下资料:
- 宗旨声明对于课程, articulating the big picture: what you hope to achieve through the course; the underlying themes and concerns; why you are teaching the course. 教学大纲既是一份合同,也是一份邀请. The statement of purpose can stimulate a conversation with the students about the nature of the class.
- 目标:你希望学生学习什么,通过什么方法.
- 阅读书目和作业 (preferably annotated): consider briefly explaining how each text and assignment corresponds to the course objectives and contributes to the overall learning. Students enjoy being able to make connections and to follow the progression of their coursework. Also consider extending to your students the opportunity to choose a portion of their assignments.
- 分级列出作业和活动,以及它们将如何计入成绩.
- 官方声明 关于学生残疾:荣誉学生可能有残疾, 并且/或者可能知道校园里的朋友会得到这些信息的帮助. 如果你需要具体的措辞,请联系 米歇尔Atterson at 940-9308.
