Us it, may, with the approval of his major professor and dean, register for an inde-
“· pendent work course in his major subject. A standing of 3.0 in the major is
W also required. Such a course is characterized by special assignments for study,
*6 weekly or bi-weekly conferences, reports, and semester papers of some sustained
effort. Credit for such courses may be granted to undergraduates to an
YG amount of not more than 12 credits. At the end of the semester a written re-
m port of the work in such a course, or a paper representing part of the work
BY must be read before the staff of the department. A copy of this paper must be
