The honors add-on provides supplementary assignments for students taking CS 173. The content varies from term to term. This term, we'll be doing Racket (Scheme) assignments similar to last spring.

This add-on is is intended for students with strong background, e.g. James scholar and/or a strong GPA plus an A in the prerequisite courses.

The honors section does not have its own meeting time. Announcements are made via the regular CS 173 lectures and Piazza.

All the students in the honors add-on do the same extra work. However, the James scholar programs in different colleges want the paperwork done in different ways.

• ENGINEERING STUDENTS and LAS students who are not James scholars: Register for the honors add-on to CS 173, i.e. CS 196 section 73 (1 sh). Be careful not to register for the wrong section, which will be the honors add-on for a totally different class.
• LAS STUDENTS who are James scholars: fill out an EHCLA (electronic honors credit learning agreement) for CS 173. Do not register for CS 196.
• DGS STUDENTS: fill out an EHCLA (electronic honors credit learning agreement) for CS 173. You can optionally also register for CS 196 (section 73) to get an extra 1sh of credit.
• OTHER COLLEGES: ask the honors office for your college how they want the paperwork done.

Some colleges have been known to change these details from one year to the next. If your college's honors office tells you something different from the above, please tell us right away so we can clarify the instructions for all students in your college.

When filling out an HCLA, the HCLA should be for CS 173 (3sh), NOT for CS 196. When the form asks you to describe the extra work, say that you'll complete the assignments for CS 196, section 73.
