Rewards of Teaching in Honors
Whether you teach as an adjunct instructor or are a Continuing Faculty Member in Honors we know you will enjoy countless benefits of working with some of the most engaged and talented students this University has to offer. Here are few of the perks:
- Classroom ambience. Virtually all of the rewards for teaching in Honors are intrinsic. The chance to teach small classes of highly inquisitive, unusually well-prepared, generally responsible and typically motivated students is one of the most gratifying experiences in college teaching.
- Innovation. Honors offers the chance for truly creative teaching. Professors are encouraged to innovate in Honors classes, to try techniques that they may have considered, but have never had a chance to implement because of class size or the quality of students.
- Honors Program recognition. The Honors Program gives an annual Outstanding Professor Aaward. The recipient's name is inscribed on a permanent plaque maintained in the Honors office, and the instructor will be recognized at our annual Awards Ceremony.
