[http://catalog.unt.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=22&coid=83639 Honors Biology for Science Majors I]. Sadboi moments with Daddy Dane Alligator Man Crossley. Tests are straightforward, but chances are, you will stumble across the occasional typo every other question (or every question, depending on his mood that day). Lectures are rather … hm. The textbook is not fun to read, unless you're a [[Nicholas Hao|nerd]]. May the luck be with you.

[http://catalog.unt.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=22&coid=83639 Honors Biology for Science Majors I].Taken during semester one for bio kids. You'll have Dr. Jag. First test normally goes bad unless you overstudy but dw, he offers a drop. The first test is honestly his gauge. He makes tests easier after seeing the level the class is at. He gives really good curves as long as the average is in the 70s. Study a lot!! Pay attention in class!! He's an amazing teacher so you should do fine as long as you put the work in.

Jag teaches about animals, humans, and sex. Neogi teaches about plants, the environment, and how humans are ruining it. The luck will likely be with you.

Most first year TAMS students take two semesters of chemistry plus a laboratory. A student can place into honors chemistry based on their performance on the chemistry placement test taken during summer orientation. Students who miss the placement test will be automatically placed in general chemistry.

Most first year TAMS students take two semesters of chemistry plus a laboratory. A student can place into honors chemistry based on their performance on the chemistry placement test taken during summer orientation. Students who miss the placement test will be automatically placed in general chemistry. The placement test for this course covers Honors/GT/Pre-AP Chemistry that is usually taken sophomore year high school with the addition of AP Chemistry concepts like specific heat. A high school chemistry course should be enough, and the cutoff hovers around 70 (however, studying AP Chemistry can't hurt).

[http://catalog.unt.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=20&coid=75346 General Chemistry I.] If you place into general chemistry, you will take a chemistry section with UNT students. The majority consensus is that general chemistry has a lot more busy work and can be harder than honors chemistry (cough cough ALEKS and SmartBooks cough cough). Most TAMS students take Dr. McAfee for General Chemistry I. However, some other professors first semester students take include Zhang, Kinyanjui, and Petros.

Most TAMS students take Dr Moss or Dr Kinyanjui. Moss has harder exams, but Kinyanjui tickles your booty. Don't let them get to you when you see Honors kids not doing work.

However, a student can place into higher level math based on their performance on the pre-calculus placement test taken during summer orientation. Students who miss the placement test will be automatically placed in pre-calculus. Placement tests are very important! The precalculus placement test is required to gain access to any higher courses. The Calculus II (MATH 1720) placement test covers derivatives, integrals, and limits and the Calculus III (MATH 2730) placement test covers polar and parametric derivatives and integrals, as well as trigonometric integrals, improper integrals, and the like. Reference to the Calculus BC for the Cal III placement test and Calculus AB for the Cal II placement test

Cohen - Doesn't have homework, gives partial credit for questions with partially correct method, 3 exams and 1 final, no drops :(, weekly quizzes with top 10 grades taken into account for final GPA

Gaebler - He gives a chunk of homework due every two weeks. 3 exams and 1 final, no drops; worth 80%. No extra credit. Very fast teacher, speeding through the material, teaching Calculus I in Pre-Calculus.

Iaia - Homework due every three or four days, no quizzes. 3 exams and 1 final, no curves and no drops. Has given extra credit and has offered to replace the lowest exam grade with the final, due to several students asking for them.

[http://catalog.unt.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=23&coid=89286 Linear Algebra and Vector Geometry.] AKA matrix math. Learning how to solve and manipulate systems of linear equations and apply it to real life situations. Just like your SAT system of equations but then the equations do not play nice and you get all sad. The first unit covers what happens when the system has a solution and the last 3 units cover what happens when the system does not have a happy solution along with some other theorems and techniques. Some things covered are vector operations, Gaussian elimination, determinants, change of basis, Gram-Schmidt process, eigenvectors, and diagonalization. This course is offered with options of synchronous and asynchronous instruction for Fall 2020 & Spring 2021; in the latter case, you simply watch videos and do your work. As of Spring 2021, this class is instructed by Dr. Helen J. Elwood. For the 2021-2022 school year, there are plans to offer honors sections of this course.
