Post: Teaching my College Honors Class
Posted by: bernoulli on 11/01/09
I am teaching my first ever College Honors class and am
loving it. What a joy to be with students who want to learn,
can think and write critically, and actually get
enthusiastic about what they are studying. I mentioned this
to my Dean and he said, "You had forgotten what it is like
to teach students who want to learn!" How true!
One of the advantages of the Honors program at my university
is priority registration. Also when a pure honors class is
taken the class size is smaller. Being in a class with
fellow students who want to learn is a big plus for these kids.
If you have really sharp kids encourage them to look into
and apply to the honors program when they apply to college.
