Independent Study

Catalog description

Independent Study requires students to work on specific assignments, or projects that they develop outside of the classroom environment. They work one-on-one with the journalism program director to research, report and write, or produce audio, or video, or visualizations and sometimes all for a project. A student can be expected to produce three stories a semester. The students are given a deadline to research, report and produce the stories depending upon the complexity. There is an editing process that make take up to four or five drafts. The completed stories are posted on our teaching website Harlem View.
