Five honors research classes to be ottered
By P»Pt*a Jaw—n
Senior Reporter
The UNL Honors Program will
offer new research seminars to pre
pare honor students for later research
projects, the program director said.
Patrice Berger said five new semi
nars would be offered at the Univer
sity of Nebraska-Lincoln next semes
ter.
“We feel very strongly that involv
ing students in research projects is a
very valuable part of their honors
experience,” he said.
The seminars, listed under the
course number 200H, include re
search methods and resources in the
humanities, research methods in the
sciences, quantitative methods in the
social sciences and introduction to
inquiry in the social sciences. Legal
environment, listed as Business Law
371H, also will be offered.
The Teachers College also is pre
paring a research seminar for honor
students, Berger said. But that semi
nar will not be offered next semester.
One reason for offering these
courses is to create continuity for stu
dents participating in the Honors Pro
gram, especially during their sopho
more years, Beiger said.
Students in the Honors Program
now are required to take honor semi
nars during their freshmen and jun
ior years, he said. However, he said,
students often lose interest in the pro
gram during their sophomore year,
when they are encouraged to take
honors courses that their respective
colleges offer.
“We felt that was an incomplete
curriculum,” Berger said, “leaving
students with too much freedom or
without honors options in their
sophomore year.”
The 200H courses will provide stu
dents with those options, he said.
“They will keep students involved
in the honors community so as to pro
vide some continuity in their honors
experience,” Berger said.
Berger said the new courses also
would prepare honor students for in
dividual research projects, including
a required honors thesis written dur
ing the senior year.
“The problem was we did not pro
vide them with sufficient instruction
to undertake that thesis,” he said.
Students got some instruction dur
ing the honors seminar they took dur
ing their junior year, he said. But that
instruction came too late.
“Longtime fears of individual re
search had been allowed to fester,”
Berger said.
The new courses not only will pre
pare students for their senior theses
but also will prepare them to under
take any kind of research project at
UNL, he said.
Berger said honor students were
only encouraged to take the new
courses next semester. However, he
said, future honor students may be
required to take the courses.
