Honors Seminar III

Catalog description

Honors Seminar III will satisfy either the Humanities or the Social Sciences upper-level elective requirement in general education. Building on the previous two Honors seminars, it will require students to further develop their ability to locate and assess primary and secondary research materials, to present effective verbal and written presentations that display more sophisticated research and presentational sensibilities, and to engage in discussion that is rooted in close reading of assigned and unassigned material. Whatever the specific course topic, the seminar will be an interdisciplinary exploration of the subject; will emphasize student participation in focused class discussion; and will foster further development of research, critical thinking, and oral and written communication abilities. Topics vary by instructor.
