The Helen P. Denit Honors Program wishes to expand its course offerings by adding purely honors courses. In contrast to enhanced courses, which are available to honors and non-honors students, honors courses will only be available to students enrolled in the Helen P. Denit Honors Program. These courses should have wide appeal to students across the university. A strong preference will be given to face-to-face seminar-style courses with experiential learning components. Ideally, the course will be interdisciplinary (intentional integration of knowledge from different disciplines) or multidisciplinary (collaborative teaching of one content area from more than one lens) in nature. Opportunity to cross-list the course across HEGIS codes is a plus.

The Honors Program conducts assessment every semester, and courses designated as enhanced must satisfy at least one of the Student Learning Outcomes. Which outcome(s) will be assessed in your proposed course? (check all that apply):

SLO1: Connect a high-impact experience to course content in a reflective essay or presentation (HIPs).

SLO2: Demonstrate growth in effective writing by actively participating in a writing process that includes drafting and revising (writing).

SLO3: Create and present a project based on discipline-specific research to a general, discipline-specific or stakeholder audience to demonstrate the synthesis and application of research (presentation).

SLO4: Analyze and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of evidence based or discipline specific knowledge or theory (critical thinking).

Please check all of the following high-impact practices that apply:

Collaborative/team-based learning: courses in which students a significant portion of the students’ learning occurs through a team-based project; incorporates two skills: learning to work effectively in a team, and learning to offer constructive feedback in a collaborative and collegial style; typically incorporates a reflective component

Diversity/Global learning: either through study abroad, global field studies, or through the curriculum of the course, students in these courses explore cultures, worldviews, and perspectives that are different from their own; typically incorporates a reflective component

Experiential learning: “hands-on” courses in which a substantial portion of the knowledge is acquired outside of traditional classroom settings; may include service-learning, community-based learning, applied learning, or problem based learning; typically incorporates a reflective component

Internship: A specific kind of experiential learning in which students work for an organization (either paid or unpaid) in order to obtain practical experience; must be taken for course credit; typically incorporates a reflective component

Undergraduate research: An individual student’s exploration of a specific research topic within a field of study under the direction of a faculty member; must be taken for course credit; typically culminates in a complete formal paper and/or presentation

Writing-intensive coursework: Courses in which a significant portion of the students’ learning is accomplished through various forms of writing; typically relies upon the iterative process wherein students complete a rough draft, obtain feedback, and complete a revised draft

Narrative (maximum 500 words). Include (a) a description of the course, (b) a detailed description of how your course will satisfy the high-impact practices described, and (c) a description of assignment(s)/artifacts embedded in the course that measure the student learning outcome checked above.

A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
