HIST. 416 HONORS REQUIREMENTS (Spring, 2006)

In addition to (or in place of) the requirements set for the rest of the class, Honors students in Hist. 416 are expected to fulfill the following:

1. Extra Readings: Honors Students are expected to read all the recommended readings in the syllabus. Each student will be asked to report to the class on one article pertaining to some facet of the materials covered in class (student’s preference, it can relate to your research paper).

2. Research Paper Assignments: The paper assignments should be fuller and more substantial. Bibliography should be exhaustive, PS Critique should analyize all the necessary primary sources, and the final paper should be between 15-25 pages and in proper classical form.

3. One 10/15-Minute Class Presentation, to be performed probably during the last week of class. Range of topics varies. Typically, I assign slide presentations of various archaeological sites, art forms or types of architecture. Honors Students are also welcome to present the substance of their research papers in class.

4. Consistent Class Participation. Honors Students are expected to have completed the assigned readings on time and to be prepared to discuss them in class. For this reason attendance by Honors Students is mandatory. I will allow ONE unexcused absence and then deduct 2% from final grade for every additional absence.

5. Honors Discussions: Honors students will be expected to take the lead in announced in-class discussions as they occur.
