Students who achieve high levels of academic excellence (minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5) can take this course for four academic credits as Honors Courses. If that is the case such students must complete additional assignments in which they delve more deeply into the subject matter in question. These additional assignments are specified by the instructor at the beginning of the course. They are graded on a "grant of Honors credit/no grant of Honors credit" basis and are not calculated into the final grade for the course. For the granting of Honors credit, students should produce work of a quality that would receive a B (3.00/4.00) or higher and this will be noted on their transcripts. Students taking a course as an Honors Course also enjoy additional mentoring time with the instructor. Instructors for Honors Courses are chosen by the Dean of Academic Affairs in conjunction with the Department Chair, based on their expertise and teaching excellence.
