Barrett Honors College Benefits - ASU



A Word from the Captain

A Letter from the Dean

Bon Voyage. Welcome to academic year 2000-2001, the first of the millenium.

Although we’ve journeyed this way many times, each voyage is new, excitingly different. New is this handbook, a set of charts, assembled by the Student and Academic Support Services Office in the Barrett Honors College.

Document Production Services at ASU has printed, bound and underwritten the cost of the handbook as a special getaway gift as you embark on your journey of discovery. I extend a very special thanks to Robert Lane and his staff. Without their help, we would not have been able to provide you with so many pages of important information.

We have undertaken several new initiatives to enrich your year. You can read about them further on, but let me draw your attention to them.

First, three new programs will stimulate your intellect and imagination.

A film series hosted by the Barrett Honors College faculty will allow you to see and discuss films that have made a difference.

The College will also be sponsoring a series featuring some of ASU’s most noted faculty discussing hot topics of the day.

Several influential community members will conduct discussion seminars, over dinner, on topics of interest to us all. For instance, one of the nation’s foremost experts on postal fraud will tell us about those fascinating crimes, and a columnist the Arizona Republic will bring us into the influential world of the media.

Second, Honors Impact will enable the Barrett Honors College, led by its students, to make a substantial difference in the community. By focusing student, alumni and parent attention, creativity, and effort on the problems of a changing neighborhood near campus, we will be able to join area residents in bringing an enhanced quality of life to their neighborhood.

Third, sometime—we hope early—this fall, we will be opening the Barrett Honors College’s café in the area around Irish C. I hope fervently that it will become a magnet for resident students and their friends, a gathering place for our commuting students, and a place where faculty, administrators and students will meet to exchange ideas.

I look forward to spending time with as many of you as possible on this year’s journey.

Sincerely,

Ted Humphrey, Dean

Working with Faculty

For those of you who are new to university life, and for those of you who might just need a refresher course in university protocol, there are a couple of important things to remember when working with faculty. Following these simple guidelines should help you interact confidently and appropriately with faculty members, who will be so important to your college years.

• You should not address faculty members by their first names unless they have given you permission to do so. If the faculty member has a Ph.D., and most of them will, you should address him or her as Dr. This goes for the Dean and Associate Dean in your college as well. NO matter how cool or laid back they look, “Dr.” or “Dean” is appropriate.

• If you set up a time to meet with faculty members during their office hours, you should be there on time and dressed appropriately. “Appropriately” includes shirt and shoes (not blades).

• When asked to turn in journals or assignments for class, be sure to use clean paper and more importantly clean language. If you wouldn’t want your grandmother reading it, you probably shouldn’t turn it in.

• Class journals are not personal diaries. You should avoid putting anything in them about the break up with your significant other, the cat you are hiding in your residence hall room or anything else you really don’t want people to know.

• Finally, and probably most important, get to know the faculty who are teaching your courses. Introduce yourself to them during the first couple of class periods. They are a great resource for you. They know a lot about a lot. Let them help you be successful at ASU and in life.

Destination Graduation

The Barrett Honors College Requirements

Let’s Go 4.0!

• Go to class – it sounds obvious, we know!

• Do your homework – again – the obvious!

• Read your notes right after class – it will help to reinforce the new material.

• Meet with your faculty during the first two weeks of the semester – it’s a chance for them to put a name with a face and for you to make sure you understand what is expected.

• If at all possible, don’t work. If you can just focus on your classes, it will pay off in the end.

• Finally, if you find yourself running into trouble, meet with an academic advisor – sooner rather than later!

Lower Division Honors Requirements (Main and East Campuses)

• Students must complete 18 semester hours of honors coursework for an earned letter grade within the first 60 earned semester hours.

• The 18 hours must include 6 credit hours of HON 171 & 172- The Human Event. The remaining 12 credit hours are earned through honors courses of your choosing and may include courses on honors summer study abroad and honors internship credits.

• Honors students must maintain a cumulative ASU GPA at or above 3.40.

• Students must complete a lower-division verification form.

Upper Division Honors Requirements (all three campuses)

• For upper division honors, students with fewer than 45 credit hours must complete six credit hours of HON 171 and 172 (The Human Event.) Students with more than 45 credit hours must complete three credit hours of HON 371, 374, or 394.

Thesis/Creative Project Process

The capstone of an honors education in the Barrett Honors College is the thesis or creative project. This project is one of the most fulfilling parts of honors undergraduate coursework. It allows students to take the knowledge and skills they have developed in their university careers and turn them to a project that pushes back the frontiers of knowledge. There are several steps to completing the project:

1) First, obtain an information packet either by attending a creative project/thesis workshop or colloquium or by making an appointment to meet with the honors thesis advisor.

2) Next, decide on a thesis topic. It is never too early to start thinking of what area might be of interest to you.

3) Once you have chosen a general topic area, select an advisor or mentor (a full-time ASU faculty member) for the project. This person will help you choose the second reader for your project, work with you to narrow the scope of the project for specific study, and facilitate the project from start to finish.

4) Register for thesis class (XXX 493).

5) Complete prospectus form located in your thesis packet and turn in the completed form to the Barrett Honors College. We will find a third reader for your thesis.

6) Once the project is completed, set up a defense date convenient for all three members of your thesis/project committee.

7) Present the project and have all members sign the title page once the presentation and question and answer session is complete.

8) Turn in a clean, unbound copy of thesis project and the signed title page to the Barrett Honors College when finished with NO staples or holes.

Special note: Students majoring in Psychology or in the College of Business are encouraged to meet with an Honors Disciplinary Advisor (see page 29 for complete list) during the first semester of the junior year.

Special Topic Classes

Primarily for transfer students, the BHC offers several special topic classes each year. There are also a variety of special topic classes in every department on campus. Special topic classes are usually numbered XXX394. Following is a description of several HON 394’s:

• Class: Hon 394 “Nature, Knowledge, and Norms”

Instructor: Don Beggs - Are there good reasons to care about the environment beyond enlightened self-interest? Although the natural sciences cannot address this question directly, relevant concepts and perspectives can be found in philosophical accounts of the nature of nature, and in study of the history of ecology. This course will enable students to begin to shape their own coherent orientations to nature and to environmentalism.

• Class: Hon 394 “Religion, Authority, and Identity”

Instructor: Karen Bruhn - Who are you and how do you know? People call on many resources in order to better know themselves. This class concentrates on how people use religion--personal spiritual beliefs and/or membership in a religious community--to understand who they are and where they belong. Texts will include writings from various religious traditions, as well as literary and dramatic works that highlight the role that religion can play when people construct and present an identity to the outside world, and how those identities are perceived by the “outsiders” who observe them.

• Class: Hon 394 “Heroes, Heroines and Villains”

Instructor: Diane Facinelli - This course examines the concepts of heroic and villainous characteristics as expressed in various cultures throughout history. While focusing primarily on literature, the course includes the study of works from religion, psychology, philosophy, the visual arts, and film.

Translation

Barrett Honors College Definitions

• Class: Hon 394 “Women Saints and Heroes”

Instructor: Jennifer Heindl - In this seminar we will explore the qualities and abilities of women (and several men) regarded within a number of religious traditions as exceptionally holy. Are female saints and heroes fundamentally different from their male counterparts? What happens when holy men or women take on roles associated with the other gender? We will begin the course looking at early Christian martyrs, and medieval saints such as Francis of Assisi and Joan of Arc. We will end the course by looking at modern secular "saints": activist/martyrs, both male and female, and the ways in which they embody their society's ideals of the holy and heroic

• Class: Hon 394 “Freedom and its Opposite in German History”

Instructor: David Pickus - This course focuses on German intellectual life and culture from 1750 to the present. Synthesizing literature, history, philosophy and art, it asks how freedom has been defined and pursued in German history, and why possibilities for freedom have been distorted, abandoned or lost. Among the authors we will read are Goethe, Hegel, Marx and Kafka. Topics treated include the role of outsiders in society; the nature of the human psyche, and the possibility that art can create a better world.

• Class: Hon 394 “Law, Literature and Life”

Instructor: Michael Stanford -This seminar will explore the American legal system in all of its aspects—from it structure and history to its impact on daily life and the mark that is has made on literature and the other arts. Readings will be drawn from a wide variety of sources, including law-school textbooks, novels about the law, and journalistic accounts of famous trials.

• Class: Hon 394 “Science and the Modern Self”

Instructor: Eric Susser - “What does it mean to be human?” In the seventeenth century new methods of scientific inquiry based upon logical and systematic analysis began to replace traditional dogmas as the foundation for our understanding of the world around us. Almost immediately natural philosophers and political theorists turned this “objective” scrutiny inward. Concentrating on philosophical and literary texts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this seminar will explore the way in which scientific discoveries have affected our cultural imagination, and, more specifically, how are perception of ourselves has been shaped by scientific discourse.

Extra-Curricular Activities

Centennial Lecture Series

• In 1989, the Flinn Foundation established an endowment to commemorate the University’s 100th year. The gift created the ASU Centennial Lecture, and it provided the Barrett Honors College with the resources to bring some of the world’s brightest and most influential intellects to campus.

• In just a few short years, the Centennial Lecture has become ASU’s premier intellectual event featuring the following noted diplomats, scientists, playwrights, and authors: Jonathan Weiner, Carlos Fuentes, Annie Dillard, Stephen J. Gould, Lynn Margulis, Susan Sontag and Robert Coles.

• The Centennial Lecture takes place spring semester. This year’s Centennial lecturer will be noted paleoanthropologist Meave Leakey.

Cultural Events

• Each year, the Barrett Honors College offers students deeply discounted tickets to some of the most interesting cultural events in the Phoenix area and main campus facilities.

• All cultural event opportunities are advertised through Honors-L and the BHC website. Tickets may be purchased at the front office of the Barrett Honors College on main campus and from Dean Jolly on the West Campus.

Rhodes Chair events

• In 1996, Congressman John J. Rhodes endowed a chair, now one of the university’s Heritage Chairs, dedicated to exploring the institutions, issues and ideals of the republic.

• Since its inception, the chair has been held by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former US Senator Alan Simpson.

• Each chairholder spends designated time with BHC students, and students are also invited to public events involving the chair.

• The Rhodes Chair events are held in the spring. This year’s Rhodes chairholder will be Pulitzer Prize winning author Jonathan Weiner.

Film Discussion Series

Lunch with the Dean

• Dean Ted Humphrey hosts meals for students in the Barrett Honors College throughout the year in order to get acquainted with students, to hear their opinions on ASU-related and social issues, and to provide students with current news and information pertaining to the College. Students from all three campuses are encouraged to attend.

• These lunches and dinners are held throughout the semester and are open to approximately 12 students per meal, a number conducive to personal group conversation.

• Because of the limited number, students wishing to participate should sign up at the College’s reception desk.

• Lunch with the Dean is sometimes replaced by Dinner with the Dean so that more students have a chance to take part in the fun.

• On several occasions during the year, Dean Humphrey holds Lunch with the Dean on the West campus.

The Role of Community Service

Students who have been granted out of state partial or full tuition waivers are responsible for completing 40 hours of community service during the academic year. This service must be completed at an off campus site and you will need to have the hours verified by someone at that site. Community Service Agreement forms can be found at asu.edu/fa/forms/community_service and are due by the end of finals week spring semester.

• Resources: There are three important resources to help you complete this requirement.

1) Honors Impact, sponsored by the Barrett Honors College through the development office, will have a wide variety of options for community service participation and leadership. Contact Christy Atler at (480) 965-2359 for more information.

2) The Community Service Office located in the lower level of the MU can help you find places within the community that have opportunities available for you to volunteer. Call (480) 965-9843 for more information.

3) SPOTS (Service Projects of the Sun Devils), hosts numerous service related activities during the semester. To get involved with this group, look for signs posted in and around the College or call (480) 965-9155 for more information.

Keeping your Scholarship

Each scholarship has a set of criteria that must be met before your scholarship can be renewed. Please be sure to know what these are early in the semester. You can check out the various renewal criteria at asu.edu/fa/scholarships/index. If you have questions or concerns about meeting the renewal criteria please see a Barrett Honors College advisor as soon as possible. Do not wait until the end of the semester.

Honors Halls of Residence

Logistics

The Honors Halls of Residence houses over 600 students in the Barrett Honors College.

• All Honors Halls of Residence are community style.

• Best C, Irish B and C and Hayden are all co-ed by room (men and women on the same floor).

• Best A and B have single gender floors.

Applying and Renewal

• To sign up for one of these rooms you will need to complete an Honors Halls of Residence housing survey which is available on line at asu.edu/honors.

• Students wishing to return to the Honors Halls of Residence for next year need to go through the reassignment process early in the spring semester. Watch your on campus mailbox for more information.

Resources

• Each room in Best, Irish & Hayden has ethernet connections with two IP addresses. The cost for activating each connection address is $50 per year per student (NOT per room)- or $25 per semester (cash or check ONLY). This $50 will give you an IP address, a cable and a hub (if more than one person in a room wants the connection). The cables and hubs are property of the Barrett Honors College and must be returned at the end of the academic year. Your computer must have an ethernet card to be able to access the ethernet connections in the rooms. These cards can be purchased at a number of places, including on campus at the ASU Computer Store.

• There are movies, games, vacuums and other miscellaneous household supplies available for students living in the Honors Halls of Residence to check out

• Best C houses the Barrett Honors College computer labs.

• If you have issues with any of the facilities in your room (broken light switch, cracked mirror, etc) please complete a work-request form at the Best C front desk.

Motel 6, “We’ll leave the light on for you”

Honors Halls of Residence

Security

• All halls are locked 24 hours per day 7 days per week for your safety. The Best C front lobby has a staff member available 24/7 if you need assistance.

• If you are going to have guests visit you in the halls, please give them your phone number and they can call you from the Best C front desk to let you know they are here.

• Please do not prop the exterior doors. There have been some problems in the past with non-ASU folks getting into the halls and sleeping in the common areas.

• Remember to lock your room door – even if you are just going down the hall for a minute. It only takes a minute to have your wallet, purse or backpack “walk away”.

• If you have an emergency and need an ambulance or fire truck just dial 911 (no 8).

• To reach campus police call 5-3455, or dial 0 and asked to be transferred to campus police.

• Never walk alone at night on campus – even if it is a well-lighted path. Call the campus escort service at 5-1515 – they’ll come and take you wherever you need to go.

Hall Staff

There are staff members living in the halls to make sure your experience is fun, safe and an all-around positive experience. If you would like to make an appointment to meet with any of the Hall Directors or the Complex Coordinator just stop by the front desk of Best C.

• Resident Assistants are upper-class ASU students. They live on almost every floor in every hall. RAs are a great resource for any questions or concerns you may have regarding ASU and the BHC.

• Hall Directors are graduate students that live in each of the buildings. They are there to work with the students and the RAs.

• The Complex Coordinator is a full-time professional staff member. She/ He is responsible for the overall administration of the entire complex (including McClintock and parts of South campus).
