Individual Research

All students will be required to develop and complete an individual research project (or internship) within the structure of this course.  Guidelines will be established, but ultimately you must determine what you want to learn, and how you want to learn it, in connection with course themes and activities.  If you’re feeling pulled in several directions due to these themes and activities or due to your own diverse interests, this is your opportunity to integrate your multiple interests within the 16 credits of this course.  Put differently, some of the 16 credits are yours to shape according to your particular interests.  Begin by answering these five questions: What do you want to learn?  How are you going to learn it?  How are you going to know when you have learned it?  How are you going to show others—faculty and colleagues—that you have learned it?  And, what difference will it make?
 
Your answers in narrative essay format, which has been typed, double-spaced, word and grammar-checked, and proofread by at least one member of your peer group, is due on Tuesday of week three.  We’ll also use TESC’s Individual Learning Contract forms (available online) solely within our class to develop, articulate and document individual research.  The first draft of your Individual Learning Contract is due in class on Tuesday of week five.  The final draft is due Wednesday of week six.  (Note: Do not submit your form to Academic Advising.)
