General honors section information

This quarter we are offering an opportunity for an honors experience in CSE 143. This is intended for students in the honors program and other high-achieving students. The students who participate will meet with me and one or more TAs once a week in a small group to discuss what I consider to be interesting issues, mostly issues in computer science but sometimes outside our field.

I don't believe in just giving honors students more work. In fact, I won't be asking people to write any programs for this. The main requirement is that you have to agree to show up each week and to participate in our discussions. This quarter I will also ask the students in the honors section to do some reading, either chapters from a book relevant to CSE topics (that you would have to purchase), and/or from articles posted on the course web site from time to time.

Students in the honors section are graded in the same way as everyone else in the class, but their transcript will indicate that they took an honors version of the 143 class. This is most important for honors students who have to accumulate a certain number of honors credits.

If you are interested in participating in honors section this quarter, please fill out our online Honors Section Application form where you can tell me about yourself, why you would be a good fit for this program, and what times you are available. Submit this information by Monday, 9/30, at 4 pm.
