HONORS 135: Ideas in Honors is a one-credit seminar course intended to introduce first-year Honors students to topic-driven scholarship at the advanced undergraduate level. Senior Honors students create their own topics and develop their courses with the support of an Honors Program advisor, and with the supervision of the program director.
Angela Voit, 2024 instructor, was a senior from Okemos, Michigan studying Data Science. Her course, “From Sappho to Swift: Observing Art through Human and Artificial Intelligence,” was an introduction to AI topics through their contrast with our individual experience of art. With the growing popularity of generative AI and the “For You” feed, the goal of her class was to appeal to more than just the math and computer science audience, but to result in an exchange across traditional academic boundaries.
