Independent or Directed Study. Student may earn credit for studying subjects outside of standard courses with the guidance of faculty. Independent study covers subjects that are not in the course catalog. Directed study covers courses that are in the catalog. In both cases, the burden of learning is on the student more than the teacher. But the faculty member is still responsible for monitor and assessing progress. If a member is asked by the Vice President to supervise an independent or directed study, the course profile is used to determine contact hours and an LHE conversion of 1/3rd is applied. If no course profile exists, then credit hours earned by the student will be used to determine contact hours following the standard definitions. With contact hours determined, the same LHE conversion will be used to determine load.
