The Commonwealth Honors Program is blessed with an abundance of good ideas on how Honors courses can be conducted. This workshop has been arranged as a one-day idea exchange on offering interdisciplinary honors courses. The morning session will feature presentations from Commonwealth instructors on courses they currently teach, and the afternoon session will focus on resources of the Boston Public Library can be used statewide for honors courses.
