Summary

An independent project is the advanced study of a topic of particular interest to the student. An independent project must not be equivalent in content to courses offered at Santa Reparata. The project takes place outside the regular classroom environment and requires a faculty advisor who will evaluate the result of the project and submit the grade. It is expected that students create and develop a study or production schedule for their projects and that they are prepared to devote at least 3 clock hours of work per week (45 clock hours for semester) for each credit award to be awarded. 3 credit hours equal about 9 hours per week of work outside of class time. Students are required to begin developing their project ideas and completing their independent project form before the add period ends. The faculty advisor must approve the proposed project by signing the form. The completed form must be presented to the Director.
