Assigned tasks will require that students apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Emphasis will be placed on quality, logical presentation, and originality of writing when answering open-ended questions. Proficiency will be measured by assessments and/or performance tasks that demand students not only have a thorough understanding of the content, but also an ability to extrapolate information, rather than simply memorizing or restating material.
Projects, Investigations, Inquiries, & Independent Study All honors courses will include a component from the above choices that invites a deeper engagement that is defined by independence of study and/or choice. Student choices, approved by faculty, will yield a product that reflects the high cognitive demand associated with honors level work. The following items are as follows: Students are held more accountable for following the written lab procedure including locating/setting up laboratory apparatus with minimal oral instructions from teacher. Students are required to submit written lab reports addressing conclusions and discussion questions with a greater level of insight that includes interpretation of data and analysis of graphs. Students are required to setup and run an industrial CNC machine to create a prototype of their designed product. Students are required to submit a digital portfolio of all major assignments and projects completed throughout the course. Students are responsible for independently learning various material properties with respect to tool speeds and feeds with limited classroom instruction. Depth of Study Honors courses will generally require students to take a deeper dive into the curriculum, extending well beyond understanding. The following topics are as follows: All calculations require strict adherence to the rules of significant digits. Problem-solving demands a more detailed use of mathematical computations, including manipulation of equations to solve for different variables and multiple units. Investigate and integrate all types of manufacturing equipment enabling the class to create a fully functional assembly line to create a production product.
