The Integrity of the Honors Project Process
Faculty are the guardians of the Honors Project process. From conception to completion, honors research should be original and closely supervised. Where recycling of prior work is suspected, instructors are urged to either cancel the project or take appropriate corrective measures. It is for this reason, also, that an honors project may not be based on the augmentation of regular coursework. Because the project process is intended to take the student into specific extra-curricular research, a longer or more research-intensive version of a course assignment unfortunately does not qualify for honors credit.
