Independent Studies/Projects
• Independent Studies can be…– research projects with faculty member– self-taught/supervised “course” not offered by department
• Usual rule of thumb– approach faculty who know your work– approach faculty during semester prior
• Not intended to substitute for course work– if an extremely large project, should enroll in 300a/b– at most, 2 of 210, 300 can count towards degree
Self-Study
