A class presentation by the student. This may take any number of forms. If special equipment is required, the instructor will make the arrangements. For interdisciplinary courses, integration of two or more disciplines. Since Sinclair does not base entrance on ACT or SAT scores, and because the student body is largely non-traditional, selection works best through the student's own record and motivation.
Many students are self-referred.
Faculty recommendation has proved to be the most reliable way to select and recruit Honors students. This program is designed to give special recognition and support to students who wish to do more than take a few honors courses, and who maintain a high grade-point average during their time at Sinclair. The Honors Scholars Program hopes to encourage and educate tomorrow's community leaders. They explore the topic in more depth, and require more critical thinking and analysis from the students. These courses usually require different teaching methods.
