The Honor Committee yesterday evening considered making an honor system tutorial, which was previously optional for first-year students, mandatory for all students at the beginning of the fall semester. The Committee hopes to operate the education module through NetBadge.
Committee Chair Stephen Nash, a third-year College student, said the Committee would likely have to coordinate with the Office of the Dean of Students to implement the tutorial, which would be followed by a self-assessment.
"If you don't fill it out within the window of time you wouldn't be able to log in through SIS," Nash said. He added that the tutorial would only take about five to 10 minutes to complete based on last year's tutorial. The questions and educational material included in the tutorial, however, are still subject to change.
"I'm all for every student at this school having to take this exam," Darden Rep. Taylor Morris said. "I don't see any negatives."
The Committee also discussed the redesign of the Committee's website which is set to launch this summer, said Anne Russell Gregory, vice chair for community relations and third-year College student.
Committee members spoke about how they thought the website should look and function. Architecture Rep. Kaitlyn Badlato, a third-year student, said the new site should include a drop-down bar to guide visitors to specific pages.
Nash said the site would provide the Committee with an opportunity to "advertise educational [honor] events." He said he also intends to create a Facebook page for the Committee which would be used as a marketing tool.
