What is the Moraine Valley 荣誉项目?
这是一条专门为成绩优异的学生设计的学术道路. 重点课程的荣誉部分强调批判性思维和创造性解决问题的解释能力. Your love for learning is nurtured throughout the program, giving you a rewarding experience that prepares you for the future.
My goal is to transfer to another school with a high GPA. Why would I want to take honors classes?
因为你的评分标准和传统课程是一样的. 你会在课堂内外有不同的经历，这些经历会向你转学的学校证明，作为一名大三学生，你已经具备了在那里取得成功的条件.
What are some other advantages?
你也会得到帮助，建立一个投资组合，帮助你毕业后转到四年制学校. 此外，还有与其他荣誉学生和教职员工的社交活动.
How will honors courses be different from traditional ones?
Honors courses don't simply "pile on" additional work. The work itself is different because the population of learners, of which you will be a part, 有不同的需求. 例如, in a class that might typically involve a good deal of lecture, you might find much more interaction between yourself, other students and the instructor. 如果一个传统的班级通常通过多项选择考试来评估学生, 你会发现荣誉部分会采用一种不同的方法来评估你所学的知识, such as through a portfolio of your work. 另一个不同之处在于你会对自己的学习更负责(没有测验来测试你是否阅读了这一章), 这种责任带来了一些额外的好处:你可以教别人, 例如, or provide input into the design of the course itself. 如你所见, 荣誉和非荣誉的区别是质的而不是量的.
How else will honors courses be different from traditional ones?
Honors courses will have smaller enrollments.
Do I have to take all the honors classes that are offered?
No. 在毕业前完成19个荣誉学分(包括完成至少一个学习社区)的学生被认可为荣誉计划学者. 学生可以完成最少9个荣誉学分，以获得荣誉课程参与者的认可.
