The Independent Study course at Waubonsee Community College is offered for two semester hours of credit, accumulative to a maximum of four semester hours. Students not completing their independent study project in one semester may receive an extension for an additional semester. Analysis of the records of 9l Independent Study enrollees in the fall, spring, interim, and summer semester of the 1974-75 school year indicated that 54% had completed the course (48% in one semester), 40% continued their project into the fall, 1975 semester, and 7% withdrew. The students represented 13 curricular areas of the college and their study topics reflected this wide variation; 19% were psychology majors, 14% were pre-education majors, 16% were undecided, and the remainder were equally distributed among other transfer program areas. Continuation of the Independent Study course is recommended, but some constraints on completion time should be implemented, while the maximum allowable amount of credit should be increased. Extension of the course to include vocational students should be considered. (BB)
