Description:This book offers a blueprint for building honors contracts with the same creative pedagogy that defines all outstanding undergraduate coursework. As independent-study agreements that allow students to complete non-honors courses for honors credit, contracts too often put both students and faculty into a transactional mindset. Taking up this idea, the opening chapter lays down a challenge for the book's contributors, arguing that the word “contract” itself delimits more possibilities than it reveals. Eleven subsequent chapters rebut this assertion by demonstrating how contracts can enrich student experience with collaborative partnerships that take experiential learning beyond the walls of the classroom. When students put honors into practice, whether within or without the bounds of established coursework, they become lifelong learners equipped to shape their own personal and professional futures. The contributors argue that the best honors contracts challenge students, faculty, staff, and administrators to follow their curiosity and to lead others toward collaborative discovery.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
