<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I was just wondering what exactly the advantages are of taking honors courses like chem 015 (other than their possibly being better courses)? I don’t plan on majoring in chemistry but do plan on taking intro chem as I am likely to do biology, bbb, or such. Are these courses required for one to earn departmental honors eventually? Do they have a GPA benefit?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>these are usually taught by better professors and will give you a more lenient grading curve. It’ll also place you in a classroom with (generally) smarter students. Can’t say much beyond that.</p>
<p>The material is definitely much harder, but it is much more interesting as well compared to the quite trite intro material…so I guess it will better satisfy your intellectual curiosity?</p>
<p>okay that makes sense thanks a lot guys!!!</p>
