<p>I thought you might know the answer to this as you are in Honors.</p>
<p>Do students get extra credit for the Experiential l Learning requirement in Honors in addition to the class credit? </p>
<p>If so, when do they get extra credit? Would it be the same quarter the class is in? How much extra credit? </p>
<p>Does the Experiential Learning require more than one quarter of work to get extra credit?</p>
<p>Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>Experiential Learning doesn’t count as “extra credit”. It’s just part of the requirements for Honors. It’s a minimum of one quarter of work per project; and you need to fulfill two of the different aspects:
International Engagement
Service
Research
Leadership</p>
<p>I haven’t done any EL, and at the rate I’m going: major coursework concentration on CS while taking 18 credits a quarter, active in student orgs, working on campus, contracting for a company, and commuting, I might be dropping out of the Honors Core program because I just don’t have time to fulfill all the requirements.</p>
<p>I <em>could</em> TA then do research for my experiential learning requirements, but I’m more concentrated on building up experience for future industry opportunities, so we’ll see. :)</p>
<p>Here is more information about Experiential Learning requirement: [UW</a> Honors - The Experiential Learning Requirement - Extending Your Honors Experience Beyond the Classroom](<a href=“http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/reqs/exp/]UW”>Experiential Learning | University of Washington Honors Program)</p>
<p>For any other current Honors students in this forum, I highly recommend you to put some of your experiences here, since you will be of much help =)</p>
<p>Thank you for the information! Wow, you sure do alot while working on a C.S. degree, how do you ever get a chance to sleep :)</p>
<p>Good question =P Some nights I just sleep less, and I find myself sleeping on the bus at times. I don’t mix well with caffeine, so I drink cold water at night and sometimes take breaks and play games like Counter Strike to wake myself up. =X</p>
<p>There’s a lot of time management involved and it could get stressful sometimes. However, I believe it’s all worth it in the long run. I’m also seeing if I can move closer to campus next quarter or so, which would give me a few hours of my life back every day =D</p>
<p>I do sacrifice most of the “hanging out” aspect of college life, although I spend a good amount of time in the CSE labs, where most of my friends are. (I’m not a hermit! D: …well sometimes I am.)</p>
