Please indicate how you plan to satisfy the three components of contracting. These three components are IN ADDITION to all other coursework required of the students in the class. Be very detailed and specific in describing how you plan to accomplish these three components, as this will provide your professor very clear criteria with which to evaluate you at the end of the semester.

Component 1 - A substantial paper or project (15-20 page research paper OR a project of equivalent time/effort):

Component 2 - Sharing the knowledge/skills/experiences gained through part 1 with a larger audience. Do at least one of the following:

Present your work in a formal oral presentation of 10 or more minutes to your class
Orally present your work at another Suffolk event (must identify event)

Component 3 - Regular contact with faculty member outside of class to discuss student's progress and answer questions regarding the paper/project:

After submitting this form, your professor will review your contract application. This does not mean your contract application has been approved by the honors program yet. If your professor approves, they will forward your application to Dean Lenzie for final approval.

If edits need to be made to your application, your professor should contact you. You are responsible for following up with your professor about the status of your honors contract. At the end of the semester, you must have the professor confirm that you have completed the contract successfully by sending an email to Pauline Alvarez. We will then place honors on your transcript.
