My D has been accepted to HTC, and we got a very favorable impression of the school and program during the interview weekend.
We came away with the impression that the students are free to arrange tutorials with any professor in any college or major who will agree to it. Some won't, a lot will, it seemed. Later, I read a comment from a student that indicated roughly half his tutorials weren't really his choice. They were either pre-arranged, mandatory, or thrust upon him one way or another. I'm curious to know if that's an unusual case or not.
So, my questions to parents and Honors Tutorial College students are about those one-on-one tutorials that are the selling point of the program. Are they universally awesome? Are they hit and miss? How free are you to pursue areas of unique interest? Is the workload burdensome? Are some of them formulaic, or is everything really a fresh collaboration? Any profs to avoid doing tutorials with, and why? Anything else you think is noteworthy? Thanks!
We found plenty of people on campus and on-line who seemed satisfied overall. Just trying to get a handle on the ratio of sizzle-to-steak in the HTC tutorials. Thank you!
