How many Honors courses in one semester?

You’re welcome, @bctnin1059.

For what it’s worth, it is my son’s opinion that there’s no reason to shy away from Math Honors or Physics Honors either. Those courses can be challenging with or without the honors distinction. There are whole threads on the difficulty of Physics 218. But it is my son’s opinion that the actual material isn’t any more difficult in the honors versions of those courses than it is in the non-honors versions. The workload MAY be higher in honors. But the material is just as challenging either way. It is possible that the honors sections MAY have higher grading curves, given that all the participants in those sections are students who qualified for and elected Honors. (Yes, there will be plenty of “honors-qualified” students in the non-honors courses, too, either because they decided to forgo honors altogether, or they decided to forgo Honors Physics or Math. But if you choose to take the Honors section, 100% of your classmates will be Honors students and your class curve MAY therefore be higher. In my son’s section of one of those honors classes, only 2 students were awarded A’s – for example.)

Anyway, my point is, if you’re really into taking Honors classes, in our opinions, there’s no need to shy away from honors in any particular subject.

Wishing you the best!
