The Honors Scholars seminar series continues by weaving the rise of the scientific revolution with the leading social philosophies of the 17th and 18th centuries, including empiricism, rationalism, and idealism, including the roles of satire, farce, and drama in literature.
This course integrates the Honors Scholars Program's emphasis on caritas(social responsibility through involvement off campus) with its focus on the Great Books and critical thinking. Students in this course commit to serving two hours each week with a Title I school to help students with their reading and critical thinking skills. This course also includes weekly written reflections and weekly class meetings to share experiences and their relationship to the Honors Scholars Program.
Special Topics courses include ad-hoc courses on various selected topics that are not part of the regular curriculum, however they may still fulfill certain curricular requirements. Special topics courses are offered at the discretion of each department and will be published as part of the semester course schedule - view available sections for more information. Questions about special topics classes can be directed to the instructor or department chair.
