Botany Departmental Honors Please contact the Botany Department for advisement and permission prior to enrolling in Honors courses. Requirements for Botany Departmental Honors: 1. Minimum overall GPA of 3.7. 2. A comp lete d po rtfolio with a grade of A in the capstone "Portfolio Summative Assessment" course. 3. The co mpletio n o f a written thesis and a the sis presentation that has been evaluated by the thesis committee and faculty that not only receives a grade of A in the "Botany Thesis" course but is deemed outstanding. The Honors Director will sign off on a Botany thesis written for departmental honors. Outstanding is defined as meeting the following characteristics, which qualitatively and quantitatively go far beyond that reached by an "A" student. a. The research shows originality of thought and interpretation. This could be in the construction of the hypothesis, application of a technique, development of the project, etc. b. The thesis demonstrates an understanding of the pertinent literature by showing relationships between this work and other published research, contains meaningful suggestions for subsequent research by expanding the ideas of this research to Weber State University 2012-2013 Catalog
