Describe how this course relates to the goals of the Honors curriculum:

Please distinguish the content, objectives, and methods of this Honors section from the regular sections. If this is a UH or UH 400 course describe the interdisciplinary approach the seminar will follow.

Please indicate how your course will meet the General Education goals (these should appear on the syllabus for the course)—to sharpen critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills as a basis for lifelong learning; to cultivate awareness of the moral and ethical insight needed for participation in the human community; and to increase knowledge and understanding of the past, the world in which we live, and of how both past and present have an impact on the future.

Student Requirements:
Please list specific student requirements. You may want to consider that Honors courses allow the well-prepared student to explore the subject in more depth, to take more responsibility for independent learning, to participate more in the class session. Distinctive features of Honors courses include an emphasis on student expression, concern for larger issues (such as methodology, interdisciplinary relationships, social impact), flexibility and individual attention, and creative approaches and enthusiastic teaching.

Probable Textbooks:
Please list required and optional texts for the course.
