Second, it is independent study, done on the student's own, and not in a classroom, lecture or study hall. Credits are earned by demonstrating what is known, not how long a student can warm a chair. The mature and motivated individual will have no trouble achieving their educational goals quickly or slowly. The pace is set by the student. The student is not arbitrarily assigned a course of study and then left to alone to figure out what to do with it.
Every course is to be completed by directed independent study.
The student will be provided the course outline which will identify each concept or idea considered to be significant to that particular course. The course syllabus will list for the student everything the student is expected to learn from the course. Using the course outline, main texts and the resources available the student will research and master the course. The student will read three books selected by the Academic Advisor, write a book report on each book and prepare a research report to qualify for graduation. By building upon previous work experience and professional achievement credits can be earned toward a degree.
