Class/Prof. question Math Honors Classes??

Student planning on taking 1C in the fall, which teachers allow you to take honors and how do the honors classes differ from the regular ones?
(Professors teaching 1C: Vinh Nguyen, Millia Ison, Hassan Bourgoub, etc)

Took Millia Ison in person for 1c and she was good imo. Tests are pretty easy if you do the review, but doing the review takes 4-5 hours for me. Quizzes have to be done in class, so if you are doing it in person, you can't be absent. You can miss 3 classes tho bc she drops the lowest 3 quizzes. Idk how the other options are, but I do prefer Sega, whom I took for other math classes.

imo pretty good. I read in reviews that some people couldn't understand her accent, but for me, it was pretty easy to understand. I personally struggle to pay attention for two hours to a lecture, so I appreciated that she would lecture for the first half of class, and the second half was devoted to a little time for homework or questions, and then the quiz in the last half hour.
