Yes, there are many differences. First, I don’t feel like most of the students are not as advanced in the class as I did in high school. Another, I already feel like I have to study for courses, even though exams haven’t really been mentioned. In high school, I never really studied for classes. Also, I didn’t realize how I never fully understood how to take notes properly or study properly. Honors courses at Fairmont State are huge steps above my classes in high school.
Courses vary according to the program of study each student designs. Generally, however, students take two Honors courses each semester during their first two years at Fairmont State. At minimum, they need 22 to 24 credit hours in Honors courses to complete the Honors Program. The cirriculum can be divided into two categories - liberal studies classes and specialized courses.
