Honors Interdisciplinary Literature Seminar

Catalog description

Offered every spring semester, HON 225 is an interdisciplinary seminar, which may or may not be team taught, that honors students typically take in the spring semester of their second year. The seminar topic is narrowly focused for a deep and intense engagement with the course material. Each HON 225 seminar explores a specific theme or historical moment by integrating literary studies and multiple disciplines, and by concentrating on a select number of texts from those disciplines. Daily class discussions not only enhance students' critical reading and speaking skills but teach the art of respectful and effective intellectual debate. Writing assignments in this writing-instructive course focus on critical writing about interdisciplinary themes and texts. Open only to Integral Honors Program students. This course replaces ENG 310 in the Core Curriculum.
