KIN 489 - Directed Study

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 60

Students will identify a subject of their choosing that is complementary to their area of specialist study. The chosen subject could stem from a desire to expand knowledge from courses previously taken in their degree or to explore an area of inquiry not offered in an existing degree course. Working with a faculty member in a mentorship approach to teaching and learning, students will be supported to determine the content of the course and the most appropriate ways to approach and represent their learning. Through increased individualization, intellectual independence, and personal responsibility in their learning students will expand their knowledge on a topic of personal interest and gain skills in selecting and managing information.
