Is there a Division policy on the requirements for independent study projects in terms of number of meetings with professors and the kinds of products the student must produce?
Independent study projects are highly individualized, though it is important that the student produce an independent academic product and that the professor provide educational input that directly provides or guides the learning of the student. As stated in our current division catalog, independent study is supervised research initiated by the student. A proposal must be submitted and approved by a faculty advisor prior to registration. Full-time faculty are preferred advisors. Approval forms are available in the main division office, Bannan 226.
