The Integrated Study Project is one of the four credit-bearing components of the Urban Studies Program. The ISP is conducted through the precept and is the primary way that students get involved in their communities. In order to learn and to do well, you must be present.

Participation does, however, mean more than being physically present.
We also expect you to be engaged and willing to ask questions, share thoughts and reactions, and participate in collective discussions. You are also expected to be places on time. The people we will be meeting with throughout the semester are busy people who are giving us their time. Being late or disruptive is a fundamental act of disrespect.
