Most of the student’s time will be spent working independently.
This is a large responsibility and is not to be taken lightly.
A portion of his/her grade will depend on how well he/she works independently and how well he/she demonstrates qualities of an independent worker.
Qualities: time wisely, maintaining organization, managing your assignment deadlines and demonstrating initiative.
