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
