Bioethics Independent Practicum

Catalog description

This course provides an opportunity for fully matriculated MBE students to design and carry out a semester-long practice-based academic project, under the supervision of a faculty advisor, with some preliminary reading on method of practice (e.g. scholarship on consultation or pedagogy) and writing submitted by term's end. Students may apply for 1-2 academic credits, noting that 1 credit typically requires 100 hours of practice-based work. Approval for credit will be granted on an individual basis, after review by the Center and the University Registrar, upon which the student will be registered for a given term, with the faculty advisor as instructor of record, responsible for submitting an end-project report and evaluation. As with all independent studies, the student needs to choose a faculty member to help devise the project and then have the proposal approved by the Center.
