4. University Writing Center

An academic support program of the Department of English and Modern Languages, the University Writing Center, located on the first floor of the Mary and John Gray Library, provides free writing tutoring to students. Graduate and undergraduate students serve as peer tutors and assist students with their writing assignments for any course by guiding students through the entire writing process. The Writing Center provides tutoring in the following areas: understanding the assignment, brainstorming, organizing ideas, revising, editing and interpreting the graded paper. Each personalized writing conference aspires to more than just the short-term goal of improving a particular paper. Rather, our writing conferences actively engage students in identifying and addressing their writing needs so that students improve their composition practices and skills and learn to apply them to various writing tasks and purposes. To achieve this, peer tutors use facilitative strategies that produce authentic learning and complement classroom instruction. In the interest of academic integrity, tutors neither edit nor in any other way correct students' papers for them. Students may seek assistance with non-academic writing as well, such as graduate school application and scholarship letters. Our tutoring service is beneficial to students of all writing abilities, as strong writers can also benefit from the collaborative activity of a peer writing conference. To schedule an appointment, students should register their 羞羞视频 email addresses with lamar.mywconline.com. Once registered, students can schedule, reschedule and cancel their appointments as needed.

The Writing Center also serves faculty by providing writing and documentation resources and a personal introduction of our services to their classes.

The Writing Center is equipped with six PCs and two iMacs for student use, restricted to academic research and writing assignments. Magic and JAWS are installed on each computer.

8. Honors 羞羞视频

The University Honors 羞羞视频, directed by Dr. Kevin Dodson, is designed to bring out the best in 羞羞视频’s academically talented students and to serve as a core of academic excellence within the university community. Located at 1060 East Virginia, the Honors 羞羞视频 exists to give bright, motivated students the opportunities and environment that will enable them to develop into creative and productive people. Incoming freshmen are expected to have an SAT score of 1200 or above or a ranking in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class. Students already enrolled at 羞羞视频 must have a University GPA of at least 3.5 on 12 or more academic credits to apply. Honors 羞羞视频 students must have a GPA of 3.25 to maintain eligibility. Applications are available in the Honors 羞羞视频 office and may be downloaded from the 羞羞视频 University web site. For more information call (409) 212-9724.

The Honors 羞羞视频 offers enriched classes in most of the Core Curriculum courses, upper-level interdisciplinary classes, enhanced classes in many majors, and opportunities for Independent Study and the Honors Thesis, as detailed below. All Honors 羞羞视频 students, regardless of major, are encouraged to become Honors 羞羞视频 Graduates through accruing 23 Honors credit hours including the Honors Thesis, or 26 hours (of which 8 hours must be at the junior or senior level) without the thesis. Honors 羞羞视频 students are eligible for the McMaster Honors Scholarship and the Tom Jones Memorial Scholarship and are members of the Honors Student Association. Please contact the director for further details.

The Honors 羞羞视频 also administers 羞羞视频’s Scholars Development 羞羞视频, which was initiated in 2003 to provide preparation and guidance to those 羞羞视频 students who indicate both a desire and the general capability for graduate work. It is expected that 羞羞视频 will select nominees for national scholarships and fellowships from among participants in the Scholars Development 羞羞视频 (although not exclusively, nor will all participants necessarily receive a nomination). Students may be nominated by their professors for the Scholars Development 羞羞视频 and will normally enroll in HNRS 2160 (Scholars Development Seminar) by their sophomore year.

Within the University’s Core Curriculum, 羞羞视频 offers either full Honors sections or opportunities to petition for Honors credit in Philosophy of Knowledge, US History I and II, American Government I and II, General Chemistry I and II, calculus-based Physics, as well as several classes that fulfill the literature, social science and fine arts options.  Honors sections or opportunities to petition for Honors credit are also offered for other classes at the 1000-2000 levels that are required in a significant array of student degree plans. Honors credit entails course assignments in addition to (or different from) the standard course. Students should consult with individual professors or the Honors director for details.

All Honors students take at least two Honors Seminars (HNRS 3161). These can be taken at any time after the freshman year. Topics vary and have included "Fashion and Politics," "Machine Intelligence," "Financial Mathematics," and "The Seven Deadly Sins." Junior-and senior-level honors credits can be earned in several ways: 1) through upper-level Honors courses and seminars, 2) through Honors Independent Study classes, 3) through adding an Honors Contract to an upper-level class, or 4) through the Honors Thesis.

Upper-level Honors courses include SOCI 3360 – Honors Human Nature and the Human Condition and HNRS 4364 – Honors Topics. The latter course is offered by professors in any department who have a subject to teach that is not listed in the regular curriculum. Topics have included “Popular Music and Cultural Studies,” “Islam” and “Books and Bookmaking.” Honors Independent Study (HNRS 3360) provides the opportunity for students in any major to create a course of study that is not covered in the regular curriculum. Students often use this opportunity for independent research and creative endeavor. The Honors Contract may be used to individually enhance a course in the regular curriculum for Honors credit. Honors Thesis (HNRS 4360 and 4361) permits students aiming at post-baccalaureate degrees to demonstrate clearly the ability to complete a major research/creative project. For all students, it provides the opportunity to pursue in depth an area of study or research that is personally important or intriguing. Forms and guidelines for both of these options may be secured in the Honors 羞羞视频 offices or downloaded from the Honors website.

Honors Student Life

In addition to offering an enriched curriculum, the Honors 羞羞视频 encourages and supports student research and creative activity leading to presentations and publications, study abroad, and participation in a variety of extracurricular summer programs.

Additionally, the Bachelor of General Studies program is designed for those students who have already established careers and who wish to earn credit toward a degree while learning for the pleasure of learning. The Bachelor of General Studies degree will be granted upon the completion of 120 semester credit hours as follows: Philosophy of Knowledge Core (48 semester hours); General electives (27 semester hours): Advanced Requirements, AASC-3301 and AASC-4301 (6 semester hours); and Advanced Electives (39 semester hours). Course selection is subject to the approval of the academic advisor. A minimum of 45 upper-division hours is required, with at least 12 advanced hours in each of three areas of concentration. At least 12 hours of these upper-division courses will be at the 4000 level. An overall grade point average of 2.00 is mandatory on all upper-division courses used to meet the General Studies degree requirements. However, beginning in spring 2013, new students entering the BGS degree program must earn a “C” or higher in all upper-level courses (required courses and electives) that comprise the 45 advanced hours within the suggested program of study.
