Hmmm…based on the wording of the two class descriptions, I’m not sure about that M2CK:

HONORS EXPLORATIONS (1 credit)
Honors Quest: Cultivating Academic Excellence
Navigating through multiple opportunities provided by the University can be both exciting and challenging. Through a combination of discussions facilitated by leading professors and UA administrators and small group meetings, students will gain the insight and skills needed to maximize their college experience. The small group meetings will be led by UA student leaders who will serve as peer mentors. Designed to be a launching pad for the college years, this class will meet twice a week for the first eight weeks of the semester only.
UH120 004-009 + 029

Listed under Freshman Only:
HONORS CONNECTION (1 credit – P/F)
Mentors provide freshmen students with academic insight, encourage them to take part in campus activities, and serve as a friend during their pivotal transition into college. Through the development of these relationships, this one-hour course seeks to further establish the Honors living-learning community. UH120 012-028

That’s why I’m confused; they seem “almost” the same.
