Students in Independent Studies engage in-depth exploration in an independent learning experience. Students, in consultation with the course faculty member, choose a specific topic of their interest (project, paper, and......) to investigate, develop a Learning Contract, outlining learning objectives, a learning action plan, teaching strategies and an evaluation plan. The nature and amount of time and guidance to be provided by the faculty member are also determined. Independent study is intended to develop autonomous, independently competencies in the student, under the overall supervision of the faculty member.
