This class Is bound by a signed contract between a student and an instructor for Independent study. It must be submitted to the Student Records Office with all the appropriate signatures before the student can be registered for the Independent Study units. Guidelines Independent study is a variable (1-3)-unit course which is available to undergraduate, upper division, matriculated students in good standing only. For independent study in studio, students must obtain the approval of the Instructor, the Advisor, the Program Chair and the Director for the area of study. Students must show a current copy of their degree audit and transcript when requesting approval. Independent Study may be arranged during the Fall, Spring, or Summer terms with regular CCA faculty teaching in the current term only. Students may register for a cumulative maximum of 12 Independent Study units during their undergraduate career. Illustration: Studio 3: Portfolio This course follows a self-directed model. Students look toward their career aspirations and potential future clients. Group and individual critiques will help students to determine which pieces from previous semesters might form the beginnings of a portfolio. Over the semester students produce 6-8 new pieces to fill gaps and add richness to the collection. This course is designed to align with the Professional Practice class. Students are essentially establishing their small businesses. Students will create a portfolio website and promotional material. The work from Portfolio and Thesis courses will eventually be incorporated into a student's Senior Show exhibited in their final semester. the instructor and I will be having weekly meetings for one hour each.
