Survival Of The Fittest? The Rebranding Of West Virginia Higher Education, James Martin Owston

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

During the years 1996 to 2005, West Virginia produced the greatest proportion (56.25%) of regionally accredited institutional rebrandings. In addition, the state experienced the greatest proportion (25%) of the specific “college-to-university” rebranding strategy than any other state. This study set out to discover the reasons why West Virginia produced such a high percentage of “college-to-university” changes. Using a mixed method approach of analysis, the researcher used quantitative and qualitative methods to determine the rationale, strategies, and implications of the college-to-university change. As West Virginia was viewed as a nested population in Appalachia, a population of 51 institutions that experienced the …

The Advanced Classroom Technology Laboratory: Cultivating Innovative Pedagogy, Scott Carnicom, K. Watson Harris, Barbara Draude, Scott Mcdaniel, Philip Mathis

Honors in Practice Online Archive

The National Collegiate Honors Council suggests in its “Basic Characteristics” that honors programs and colleges should be at the forefront of pedagogical innovation, serving as a “laboratory” for new approaches to teaching and learning (Schuman, 2006, p. 66). One approach to this charge is the integration of the latest technology into the classroom. Implementation of technology is important to millennial students, who are digital natives, never knowing a world without laptops or compact discs. Not only do students tend to be very comfortable with technology, but they also tend to be the early adopters. In addition to piquing student interest …

Looking To The Future: The Everglades From Beginning To End?, Peter Machonis, Devon Graham

Honors in Practice Online Archive

The fourth-year Honors theme is “Looking to the Future.” This course focuses on the Everglades National Park (ENP), examining not only the Everglades eco-system and the politics surrounding its conservation, but also literature and art about the Everglades, such as the photographs of Clyde Butcher and novels like Peter Matthiessen’s Killing Mr. Watson. This course requires active participation from students; most classes take place outdoors and involve hiking, biking, canoeing, and slough slogging. Class meets every other Friday (9am–5pm) at off-campus locations and is team-taught by FIU Honors College Faculty Dr. Peter Machonis, a linguist, and Dr. Devon Graham, …

Disability: Past And Present (Honors 232—Interdisciplinary Seminar), Carolyn Stuart, Mary Jo Festle

Honors in Practice Online Archive

What does it mean to be “disabled”? How has this meaning changed over time in the U.S.? What factors affect a person’s experience of disability? Why should people—either disabled or not—learn about these matters?
This course explores the complexity of people’s experiences with disability in the past and present. Disability can be viewed from a number of lenses, including various academic disciplines, medical or social constructions, and minority-group perspectives. In this course, students analyze actions, ideas, and portrayals by cultural authorities and by the disabled themselves. Students complete a significant research project reflecting their major and interests. The instructors hope …

The Honors Community: Furthering Program Goals By Securing Honors Housing, Nancy Reichert

Honors in Practice Online Archive

Many of us involved in honors programs and colleges assume that honors housing plays an important role in creating an honors community on campus. Some of the institutions for which we work agree and do not necessarily insist that we make the case for honors housing on campus. However, my experience this past year in attempting to bring honors housing to my campus for the second time in three years indicates that those who are involved in the decision-making process do not necessarily support honors housing. This article concerns the methods I used as Director of the University Honors Program …

Multi-Level Benefits Of Using Research Journals In Honors, Christina Ashby-Martin

Honors in Practice Online Archive

As honors curricula develop and mature at our institutions, we constantly grapple with questions of what comprises an honors education. Besides the philosophical discussion of what it means to be “broad, well-educated, informed, challenging,” there is also the practical or methodological discussion of “How do we do that?” These questions become more complex as honors programs mature, possibly as a consequence of course sequencing or developing degree plans. In my experience, one of the more difficult areas to address is differentiation between a lower-division introductory experience and a mature, sophisticated upper-division seminar. Where exactly is this boundary when building a …

Teaching An Honors Course Tied To A Large University Event, Anne Wilson, Tyler Blakly, Kathryn Leciejewski, Michelle Sams, Susan Surber

Honors in Practice Online Archive

College- or university-wide events take place fairly often at academic institutions, and these events can easily provide honors programs the opportunity to offer a curricular focus based on the event. Herein, we describe a course centered on the sesquicentennial celebration of Butler University and the teaching model implemented to deliver the course.

Learning A Practice Versus Learning To Be A Practitioner: Teaching Archaeology In An Honors Context, Troy Lovata

Honors in Practice Online Archive

This paper is a case study in teaching archaeology as part of an honors curriculum. It uses the example of one course, The Legacy of Ancient Technology, and the general goals of an honors program to examine how discipline- specific knowledge can be taught to non-majors. This paper explores the differences between students learning about a field of study versus those learning to become practitioners in a discipline. It posits that courses can be successfully built from a disciplinary foundation and still serve a diverse body of honors students when seminars focus on non-foundational knowledge, collaborative learning, and a discipline’s …

Monsters And Marvels Through The Ages: University Honors Program 100-Level, 3 Cr, Leslie Donovan

Honors in Practice Online Archive

Among the most fascinating and compelling stories passed down through the ages that continue to engage us today are works that involve monstrous creatures or the marvelous realms of the other world. Goblins and fairies, Grendel and Circe, dragons and gargoyles evoke visual or verbal creations from earlier periods that have inspired the imaginations of writers, artists, and thinkers since ancient times. This Fall 2005 course of 14 students examined how such monsters and marvels reflect a variety of historical ideas, social constructs, cultural patterns, and spiritual themes in ways that have become integral to contemporary popular culture.

Methods Of Applied Mathematics: Honors Mathematics 450 And 451, Bruce Bukiet, Roy Goodman

Honors in Practice Online Archive

In this course, students perform and analyze physical experiments in the context of an advanced mathematics course. This capstone course integrates the students’ experience with mathematical modeling, mathematical analysis, numerical methods, computation, engineering and communication. In the first semester, students have short modules (2–4 weeks) that include relatively simple experiments and numerical simulations. This prepares students for the second semester, when students work in teams to perform and analyze experiments of greater complexity using more advanced mathematical skills. At the end of the second semester, students present their research results both orally and in writing.

Majoring In The Minor: A Closer Look At Experiential Learning, Bernice Braid

Honors in Practice Online Archive

Experiential learning is, for me, a preeminent means to accomplish goals that are fundamental to the entire educational enterprise. It is a set of strategies that structure acquisition of information, analysis of ideas, and self-reflection in order to pull people into active engagement with their world. Among these strategies are skills of observation and interpretation that require learners to take careful note and to examine themselves as processors of the details they themselves assemble into meaningful patterns, thus generating the insight, over and over again, that it is they who create the meaning they come to attach to events and …
