CPSC 6899 - Independent
Study (Continuing Policy)
I enjoy teaching students, especially in Independent Study courses. Any
student desiring to complete
an Independent Study with me will be required to submit a proposal the previous
semester and have it
approved before the start of semester for which the Independent Study is
planned. Put another way -
the student and I must have an agreed-to project plan before the independent
study is started.
