Honors Forum Course Funds Request
(HTML format)

The Skidmore College Honors Forum has a modest budget to support and co-sponsor activities, events and projects (typically in the range of $50-$200, occasionally above $200) that contribute to the intellectual quality of life on campus. Examples of programs include academic events such as special lectures, debates, research presentations, symposia, as well as cultural and social activities that bring honors forum members together with other students. Programs for which funding is sought should serve to foster academic and social connections among students and enhance intellectual discourse beyond the formal classroom. The Honors Forum expects that all co-curricular programs that it supports will promote the mission and goals of the Forum to its members and/or the College community at-large.

The faculty should use this form to convert and existing course into an Honors Forum course.  This form may also be used to create a one hour add-on for existing courses.

The Honors Council requests that the faculty address the following issues in the rationale for the course:

• What are the expectations you have of students in this course?
• What skills do you expect the students to acquire in this course?
• How will you assess the effectiveness of their ability to meet your expectations and acquire these skills?

Please address in your proposal the distinctions between the current and proposed Honors versions of the course, for the expectations you have, for the skills the students will acquire and the assessment you will implement.

If you wish to propose a new course as an Honors Forum course please use the Add New Course Form maintained by the Curriculum Committee.
