English Directed Study

Open to: Seniors
Length: 1 Semester

This course is designed for serious and competent students who are interested in pursuing learning on their own. A student who applies for this course must detail in writing the nature of their study; this proposal must include the topic for study, objectives, procedure, readings and assignments, and method(s) of evaluation for the course work. Each proposal will be read by all members of the English Department who will decide whether a candidate has sufficiently outlined a workable program. Proposals must be approved by the English Department by the end of April for the next fall semester and by the end of November for the next spring semester. Each student must then sign a Directed Study contract Agreement assuming full responsibility for the completion of the project and his activity during the program. Because of the great demands made by this program, each teacher is restricted to one Directed Study student per semester.
