"The minimum standard for student performance should be higher in an Honors course. Students can be assigned a greater volume and diversity of material, and you can reasonably require higher quality in your students' work. There is particular need for opportunities that allow them to develop writing and quantitative skills. Honors students should write frequently, and their writing should be subjected to rigorous evaluation, preferably of more than single drafts. Likewise, Honors students should have multiple opportunities to apply quantitative skills with appreciable rigor."
