Course Options:
Venango Honors students have two course options each semester. They may choose to enroll in one of several "Designated" Honors courses or "Honors Component Courses". The Designated Honors courses include:
HON 129 - Honors 129 is an Honors course that is equivalent to English 111, Writing II, in terms of the General Education requirement that it fills. But it is different from and more than English 111 in some exciting and important ways. Students in English 111 learn a number of critical reading, writing, and thinking skills, the fundamentals of college writing and research writing. While Honors 129 students will learn and apply these same skills, they will do so in more advanced and sophisticated ways: reading and discussing more interesting and challenging texts (including visual and audio-visual texts) and writing about these texts and our own ideas in a number of different ways. Honors 129 will challenge students to think independently and to express and support their own points of view effectively and rigorously.
