QueenCat Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Ds is taking an honors world history class. It is part of the honors program at his college. The class has six students in it. Each student has a different textbook so that they can compare the different ways history is presented by different writers. It will be interesting to see how this works out. I hope he'll share with me often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The class has six students in it. Each student has a different textbook so that they can compare the different ways history is presented by different writers. What a neat approach! I hope you'll share details after some time has passed. I haven't read it, but I'm reminded of this book by James Loewen -- Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong -- in which a variety of popular American History textbooks were compared.

Nan in Mass Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 What a great idea! We've been enjoying our history textbook, which was written in France, for its different perspective. Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenCat Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 But back to the OP--I think the prof had a great idea. Six kids in a class; that sounds amazing. Honors classes have a maximum size of 16. Most are around 10. They are wonderful. Far more critical thinking, and more interesting assignments than the non-honors program classes. Not all classes have honors sections so both have been experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
