What is an independent study (CST 333) and how do I go about arranging one?
Independent studies are, as the title suggests, self-directed research projects done by students. These are arranged between a student and a faculty member before the semester in which the student will conduct the research. Independent studies are done quite rarely, and are arranged only if a faculty member wants to supervise the research. They are normally done when a student completes a course with a faculty member and they have a mutual interest in collaborating on some follow up research. They are added manually after the faculty member signs an add slip for the independent study.
