  6. What is Seminar? A Reminder A place to get announcements for events in Honors and the University A meeting of bright minds and a sharing of ideas. It is the way Honors was originally founded. A good place to meet new people. A place to practice giving a paper or sound out an idea. A place to share news

  7. How do we choose seminars? The second day of your seminar everyone, who wants to, can suggest an idea for seminar. After the ideas have been posted, you will vote for the seminars you wish to hear. Some will have 10 – others only 9 depending on the calendar. Each person voted in meets with the professor or student leader to pick a date for their seminar immediately after seminar. This is a firm date and cannot be changed, unless you can swap with another person. The only excuse for missing your seminar is illness. Others are waiting to hear you or your guest. If you “just don’t show up” it will be counted as a double absence. Afterward, the seminar calendar is posted on the Honors Website.

  8. What Kinds of Seminars? You can give one yourself or bring someone else with approval. You can give your fellow seminarians a question or introduce something and discuss it with them. You must lead the discussion.

  9. Rules for Seminar Your seminar must be what was voted on. No naked people, no weapons. Seminars should be no longer than 30-35 minutes to leave time for questions at the end. You must lead discussions. All opinions are valid if they are based on fact. You cannot raise your voice in anger. Raise your hand instead. Please turn your phones off or on vibrate. Do not text or play on your phone. Do not do other homework in Seminar. Please add to the discussion.

  10. The Seminar Book This semesters book is I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban, by MalalaYousafzai. You can get a copy from the Bookstore or you may buy it online. If you would like to have book club – share and read with others, please let Dr. Frederick know when you are free in the afternoons.
