<p>* Do you know anything about the following classes (eg. comparison between non-honors humanities and honors as far as time commitment)? The main issue for me is I will have to take two honors courses (one of the below and Eng 103 adv comp) my first semester while I was advised to take just one.:

<p>I don’t know about those particular classes, but usually the time commitment between honors and non-honors is not significant. Honors classes are not designed to take more time. Their mission is to be more mind-expanding…not to keep you holed up somewhere studying/writing/etc for a gazillion hours. </p>
<p>One reason why you’re advised to only take one of these frosh seminar classes is due to space demands. These classes only have 15 kids each. If every honors frosh took 2 Frosh Seminar classes, there wouldn’t be enough space for the other honors frosh. </p>
<p>You can still take another honors class in some other area. </p>
<p>I do know about Fine Arts and Parody with Dr. Louise Cary. Great class. Older son took it and loved it. Does require writing and some projects because of the subject matter, but not ridiculous in time demands. It’s a cool class where everyone sits around a big conference table and discusses and views the various art/parody examples presented. Students do presentations as well on parodies that they’ve chosen.</p>
