Honors 100
Honors 100 taught me about how to fulfill the requirements for the Honors Program without losing sight of my own goals. The artifact is a reflection on the entirety of my first autumn quarter at UW and was an important tool for understanding how my priorities changed over the quarter, along with helping me understand myself better. The course, in its entirety, was useful and illuminated resources available at UW.
Chem 145 HONORS GENERAL CHEMISTRY (I)
CHEM 145 is the first part of the honors inorganic chemistry series offered at UW. It is an intensive class that, along with all of its content, taught me valuable study skills and the importance of attending office hours. These study habits will be useful for my future classes, and the heavy emphasis on gas laws and thermodynamics will be useful for future, higher-level inorganic chemistry classes. The attached assignment is my first lab for this class. It was an important learning experience in the class. There are certain aspects necessary in lab reports that I didn't realize existed, and the grading on this lab report, along with my TA's advice, helped immensely in bettering the quality of my lab reports.
honors 345 APHILOSOPHY OF GENDER IN WESTERN CIVILIZATION
This class truly taught me the value of liberal arts supplements to STEM-biased education. Although I initially registered for the class to fulfill my honors requirements and because it sounded slightly interesting, I found myself fascinated with the texts that traced opinions of gender through the centuries. It had never occurred to me to try and observe the change in the standards and definitions of gender over time, but, by doing so, I was able to better understand the origins of the fundamental aspects of today's opinions. In retrospect, I also am immensely pleased with the amount of information regarding views of gender in various religions and in the minds of those known as great thinkers. I am better able to participate in conversations with my friends about the ideas of the past and how they are reflected (or contorted) in present society.
