Independent Study
A course for independent research and writing, under the supervision of a member of the Department, open to students in the Fourth year of Honours with an A- standing in their English courses. An essay of approximately 10,000 words is the usual written assignment. A written request, outlining the project, with the approval of the supervisor, must be submitted to the co-ordinator by the last day for course changes.
Note: This course may be used to fulfill one of the seminar or 400-level requirements for the Honours degree, but it cannot normally substitute for English 18.230, 18.334 or 18.352. For students in Combined Honours, however, it is considered to be the equivalent of an Honours Essay.
