Some of the best classes I've taken are honors courses. I don't think people are aware of the thematic sequence. It is like going to the grocery store and not knowing what you are going to make. You cross the content with the principles. We have to help the freshmen understand why we have this.
Honors classes do succeed in getting the principles across.
I don't see the changes as a result of the surveys. We need to focus more on the distribution aspect. It should be stated that you can take an honors class even if you are not an honors student. We need current topics. Let's not keep this discussion here, talk about it.
