Completing the honors program has given me a sense of accomplishment. It's symbolic of rising above all of the dyslexic, 低社会经济地位, 第一代, 青少年的父母, and student of color narratives. 这是一段艰难的旅程, but thanks to the 荣誉项目, as well as the world’s greatest STEM professor, Dr. Ettienne-Modeste, I am proud to call myself a Massachusetts honors scholar.

There are three types of honors experiences in the 十大彩票平台 荣誉项目. They are described as follows:

  • 荣誉研讨会 是特别设计的课程,强调批判性思维,高级研究和写作吗. 荣誉研讨会 appear in the course catalog as HNR classes.  这些课程只对被荣誉课程录取的学生开放,这些学生必须达到3分.2 or higher grade point average. 这些班级往往较小,采用研讨会形式的教学,可能是团队教学.
  • 荣誉部分 是否有专门指定的传统课程,如:ENG-101H, SOC-101H, BIO-131H.  These classes can be identified by the letter “H” appearing after the course number.  荣誉部分为学生提供完成荣誉工作的机会,同时也满足特定课程要求和/或通识教育要求.
  • 荣誉插件项目 允许学生比传统学生在课程中所要求的更深入地追求现有学术课程的内容和主题. The content and subject matter of the add-on component course is developed by the student, in conjunction with the professor and assisted by the 荣誉项目 Coordinator as needed. 通常, the add-on component is documented through a scholarly research paper, 小组项目, a portfolio of creative work, or presentation at a public forum. 学生必须在附加课程中获得B的成绩,该课程才能在成绩单上被视为荣誉课程. The Honors Add-on option is available to any student of the college who has achieved a 3.2平均绩点.  Prior to the end of the fourth week of the semester, students pursuing add-on components must complete the 附加合同 and submitted to the Honors Coordinator, Professor John Diffley at jjdiffley@ntklpf.com.
