LIS AND LNT INDEPENDENT STUDY PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
A typical 4-credit-hour course meets 3 ½ hours per week for 16 weeks (56 hours). A typical student spends
2 hours outside of class reading, preparing for exams, writing, etc., for every hour in class (112 hours). So,
if you’re a typical student, you’ll devote 168 hours to a typical 4-credit-hour course. Use this and your own
past experience in arriving at a reasonable agreement with your faculty sponsor regarding credit hours for
the project.
LIS refer to Chapter 13 in the undergraduate handbook.
LNT refer to Chapter 11 in the graduate handbook.
After negotiating the content and process with a faculty sponsor, this form should be completed and sent to
the LNT Secretary.* The form will be signed by the faculty sponsor and LNT Director prior to registration. If
you are using an external resource, it is your responsibility to get that signature. You may attach additional
pages to this form as needed.

1.
OBJECTIVES: What is the nature of the project? What do you want to learn?
2.
RATIONALE: Why? (Refer to Goals, and Learning Needs)
3.
