Honors Program Reflection
1. Has your time in the Honors Program enhanced your university experience, academically and/or personally?
I have really enjoyed my time in the Honors Program. I feel like I was able to meet a lot of really great people and be taught a lot of great professors. I feel like I have a lot more skills in the areas of research, writing and speaking than some of my peers in my program. I have been afforded the opportunity to complete research in three areas of my field that we hopefully make me a better teacher. I also love that the classes were so specific and different, and I loved the small class sizes. I feel like I got to know my classmates on a personal level, but even more so academically, and they all challenged me to my best self. I also loved just being a part of the Honors community and participating in events or just hanging out in the office.
2. Would you recommend the Honors Program to a friend or family member?
Yes, I would. I have recommended it to many people …show more content…
Given the opportunity, would you have taken on-line Honors Program course offerings? If so, for what reasons?
I tool two of my Honors courses online and I had one that was a hybrid. Although I missed the physical class settings, I still really enjoyed and got a lot out both classes I took. They were a little heavy on the writing side, but you know what they say practice makes perfect! And I had to reflect a lot of literature being studied. I also liked them because you could work the assignments on your own time.
10. How, in your opinion, could the Honors Program experience be improved for future HP students?
I think the mentor/mentee system could continue to improve. I had a great relationship with my mentor, and my mentee this year, but my middle years I struggled to get to know my mentees. I also think involvement within the program could be strengthened because many people cannot be involved or choose not to. More events on the weekends or in the evenings so more students can
