How do I arrange an Independent Research project (Economics 4980)?
First, figure out what you want to do. Then find a faculty member who is willing to supervise your research. (Most will be.) Decide upon the number of credits, the work to be done and the final product (a research paper, a presentation, whatever), and the grading criteria. Finally, do the paperwork: submit a proposal to the Arts College (Office of Undergraduate Advising, 172 Goldwin Smith) and add Econ 4980. See Opportunities for Research.
