@iubaccounting Nice link… didn’t know future students could use that resource!
@turbo93 A few more comments about Honors classes:

Just about any class can be “made” into an Honors class with professor/dept approval. You need to request this when the class starts. They will generally add a paper or some other assignment to the class to make it Honors.

Many times Honors sections attend the same lecture as the non-Honors section but the discussion group is specific to the Honors attendees.

Honors classes at IU are not weighted. The grades carry the same weight on your GPA as any other class. On the other hand, if you check out the grade distributions, most Honors classes are mostly A’s and B’s due to the quality of the student, the smaller class size, and the professors. Kelley almost insists that no Honors class student get anything below a B-.

Be very careful with taking Hutton classes unless you like lots of reading and enjoy writing papers.
