The Gamecock HONORS continued from page 1 said Dean Peter Sederberg, of the Honors College. It is expected, when students come for honors advisement, that they will have a general idea of what classes they plan to take. To facilitate the process, a list and description of available honors classes was distributed to students as soon as it came off the master computer. Sederberg said all schedules lor next semester were due in the Registrar's Office Sept. 15. The Honors College then pulled the preliminary schedule off the computer as soon as it was available. So, SCHC students are able to go to the college and look at the preliminary master schedule before being advised in their honors classes. "Students are able to get a jump, and can figure out their schedules long before other students think about it," Sederberg said. "SCHC students have access to [scheduling! information long before other students." Many honor students agreed that the early advisement period is an advantage. They also don't have a problem with going to the College to see what regular classes will be offered. "It's one of the nice perks," said sophomore Rebecca Ostheimer.

Other SCHC students felt that the advisement needs to be so early in the semester so they can meet with both advisors. Junior Sean Hard wick said the advisement periods needs to be earlier so you can determine what honors classes along with regular classes to take. There are however, students who find it difficult to be advised in resDect to honors classes without hav ing the ability to sit and study the master schedule at their leisure before being advised. Sophomore Emily Free dislikes being advised so early in the semester. She said she'd prefer to set down with a master schedule and plan out her classes, before making any advisement decisions. To deal with the advantages and disadvantages of the honors advisement system, numerous adaptions occurred. Several academic major advisors allow honors students to be advised earlier than other students. Honors College students who are business majors have the option of being advised early in their major. The decision about whether to see honors students early is left up to the individual academic majors, and varies from department to department.

On this day, which occurs after TIPS registration, students have another chance to get into honors classes that may have been previously closed. Sederberg said that "shopping day" is a way of compensating for students originally selecting honors class es and then changing their minds without notilying the college, thereby locking other students out of the class. Besides "shopping day" the entire advisement process is structured so that older students have the least time to prepare for advisement. "The greatest burden falls on those who are experienced and savvy about the university. These students don't need a lot of direction," said Sederberg. "Most seniors and juniors come in with the honors courses they need already identified." Freshman are the last honors students to be advised, and they are the ones who need the most time to plan out coursework. Students just starting in the college are also the ones who have the most decisions to make concerning what classes to take. As Sederberg said, the honors advisement process isn't perfect, but it's a sign that the college is advising more effectively as compared with several years ago. tinued from page 1 i for next se- quirements for advisement for gradu,he 7 2-hour ates students varies from school to school tion.
