Students in honors Spanish sections cover the same material as students in the non-honors sections. However, students in the honors sections have additional assignments, as well. In addition to a weekly creative writing project, they typically complete two to three of the following assignments: 

• A cultural excursion or a service learning activity with pre-event activities and a research/reflection essay;

•  A cultural research project with a corresponding oral presentation and section on the final exam;

•  The reading of a novella and a corresponding section on the final exam;

•  Two to three (1-2 page) writing assignments.

Note that the prerequisites for honors and non-honors sections are the same. Both Spanish A180 and A180H serve as prerequisites for Spanish A185 or A185H; and either Spanish A185 or A185H will work as a prerequisite for Spanish A280 or A280H.

Also, note that you do not need to be enrolled in the OCC Honors Program in order to take honors courses at OCC. Conversely, taking an honors course at OCC does not mean that you are enrolled in the program. Click here for more information about the OCC Honors Program, honors courses, and honors societies.
