Honors students appreciate and function productively in projects that involve groups or even the entire class. When assigning individual or group term projects, consider scheduling time for student presentations. The Honors Course Syllabus Planning a good syllabus is like practicing preventive medicine. The syllabus is both a contract and an invitation. The statement of purpose can stimulate a conversation with the students about the nature of the class.
Students enjoy being able to make connections and to follow the progression of their coursework.
Also consider extending to your students the opportunity to choose a portion of their assignments. It is the policy and practice of Butler University to make reasonable accommodations for students with properly documented disabilities.
