This roundtable discussion will be facilitated by Texas Tech University and will address the conflicts and challenges of coursework substitutes in honors education. Are coursework substitutes such as contracting, course-work waiver activities, and experiential learning activities compromising the integrity of honors pedagogy and learning even as they enable students to complete their required honors hours? We will explore issues associated with honors coursework substitutes for students, for substitute facilitators, for course schedulers, and for faculty mentors.
