HC Learning Outcomes

The Honors College has established two learning outcomes.  These outcomes describe the skills that participation in HC courses and activities (including the honors thesis) allows all HC students develop by the time they graduate.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

The Honors College is committed to creating an equitable and inclusive environment, and we have adopted a statement of that commitment for honors course syllabi.

Honors Pedagogy

It's easy to say what honors pedagogy is not. It does not involve different disciplinary learning outcomes than other versions of the same course. It's not about adding more work... or even raising the grading standards.

It's more challenging to say what honors pedagogy is. The inaugural Honors Faculty Professional Learning Community identified four key characteristics of honors courses.

Course Evaluations

Course evaluations help the Honors College to identify classes with high or low demand and to add variety from different disciplines. The OSU Student Learning Experience Surveys (SLEs) now include a block of four questions specific to honors courses.
