Honors Vs. Regular
Are you really organized?
Have you consistently turned in work on time?
Do you have strong study habits?
Are you focusing on your strengths?
What is a healthy balance for you? (school work vs. extracurricular activities vs. social time)
SLIDESMANIA.COM - Jennifer Leban & Omar López
SLIDESMANIA.COM - Jennifer Leban & Omar López
Consider the following with honors courses...
A’s and B+’s in current courses and you turn everything in on time.
Getting a good grade the first time you take a test and NOT relying on retakes
More demanding course load
Higher teacher expectations
More homework and reading
Faster pace of material presented
More self-directed in and out of the classroom
