755-267 Independent Studies Program

It is intended that the I.S.P. will extend the scope available to cater for students with special interests and skills. Students may propose to undertake as their elective in Year Two a study in an area of endeavour either within their own studio program or one that is not offered by the School. The student's proposal must be submitted on the appropriate application form, which is available from the School office. The aims, content and assessment process of the proposed study program must be outlined and a suitable supervisor appointed. Proposals and their suitability will be considered by the Head of Studio Program and endorsed by the nominated Coordinator. Note: Subjects taken outside the College or The University of Melbourne cannot be undertaken as part of the Independent Study Program. Application should be made for cross-institutional enrolment.

The criteria used for assessment are: the degree of development apparent in the student's work or products; the extent of the exploration of ideas and procedures; the quality of performance or product achieved by the student; and the level at which the student has achieved her or his goals as outlined in the I.S.P. proposal. Assessment will be carried out by appropriate academic staff, or the nominated Coordinator. Assessment provisions will be determined in writing when the proposal is approved.
