Here is the handbook from last year's Honors Conference which includes abstracts.  These can serve as models for yours.

Things for tonight

You don't need to read/watch these in advance of class, but we're posting them so that you can revisit them after class if you want to (and so that we can find them during class more easily).

Welcome!

Welcome to the blog for Love and Hate: an honors seminar, offered at Bunker Hill Community College in spring 2014, by Profs. Monica Poole and Kim Frashure

Here's the syllabus

Here are some resources for writing abstracts: advice and examples.

Please check back soon for more information about what we're doing together in class next week!  Don't forget to bring your abstracts--remember, start with topics that interest you, then imagine some questions, then turn those questions into at least one abstract.
