Taking Honors Linear Algebra after having taken regular linear algebra

Lets say that I take a honors linear algebra class after having taken just a regular linear algebra class.

Is this considered repeating courses?

If it isn't the same course number, it isn't repeating the course. I wouldn't take it just for the sake of taking an honors class though - that won't really make a difference.

Yeah, I wouldn't either. If you did well in your original linear algebra class (which I assume so if you're considering honors...) you're just going to be bored when you take it again. No one is going to care to see that you took both the regular and honors version of a course.

plus id be surprised if your school gave you credit for both, most schools dont give credit for taking both an honors and regular class

I'm asking this because I took calc III/Linear Alegebra during high school through a dual enrollment program with a state university, but got a B from my Linear Alegra class. I will be taking Calc again starting with Calc I. I'm planning to take all honors starting with Calc I.

So I was just wondering how this would look.

Also one of the posts mentioned that the course number needs to be the same to be considered as a repeat. Then if I took a linear algebra from some other place (in my case, from my local state university), if I take linear algebra again from my college, is it not considered as a repeat then?

That is such a complete waste of time right there, but hey that's up to you. But don't retake linear algebra and just end with calc III.

If you're a math major, stop wasting your time and proceed with Calc III if you have to. Otherwise, start with differential equations and move on.

In both cases, don't retake linear algebra. It's not worth it and it would probably be considered repeat. Honors linear algebra means nothing, unless you're taking a proof-based course.

Taking an honors linear algebra class after having taken a regular class is just silly. You're not really going to get anything new from essentially retaking a course (unless you had a horrible grade). I think it would be a better idea to take an honors course in something new than to take an honors course in linear algebra again, to show med schools you're broadening your horizons.
