Outcomes
Carefully crafted and well-supervised independent studies, laboratory, and field work can be a powerful learning experience because they offer students the opportunity to work with a faculty member on a program of special reading, research, or field work beyond coursework included in the Skyline College Catalog. Students who are considering approaching a faculty member about participating in an independent study are offered the following advice:
It is important to remember that no faculty member is under any obligation to do so – the decision to take on this added responsibility is entirely up to the individual. Students who decide to approach a faculty member about sponsoring an independent study should realize that they are asking someone to take on a commitment of additional time (for which he or she will not be compensated).
Before registering for an independent study, students should be sure that they and the faculty member share a set of common expectations about faculty/student contact (its periodicity and length) and feedback (its depth and timeliness).
