Hi, Mackenzie:
Could you include this in the next full faculty meeting agenda items under announcements "New Policy for Undergraduate Independent/Directed Study"

Colleagues,
In May 2013 the University Academic Planning Council approved new policy guidelines for undergraduate independent/directed study.
A formal notice of this policy is attached and we ask that you familiarize yourself with the policy.
For the most part, it is a collection of policy and practice that already existed.
The goal of this policy is to provide a single source of guidance and advice about independent/directed study. As noted in the policy, "a fundamental value of directed study is to be a high-quality mentored learning experience that includes regular instructional contact between the instructor and the student. By their nature, these experiences are highly variable, and common expectations ensure the integrity of the student experience across the breadth of University offerings. "
We have begun efforts associated with implementation and we will be in contact with schools/colleges and departments if there are questions about alignment between practice and policy.
The attached memo, the full policy, and supporting documents are posted
at https://kb.wisc.edu/vesta/page.php?id=36263.
Please let me or Michelle Young (mey...@wisc.edu) know if you have questions.
Many thanks, Jocelyn
