Senior Project Independent Study
Credits 1.0The Senior Project is an independently researched and prepared product completed by each 12th grader on a topic of his/her choice. The Senior Project is an opportunity for the student to demonstrate his/her ability to select, research, write and produce a significant product which is presented to an assessment panel including a faculty member, a peer, an expert consultant, and another adult. The Senior Project includes a proposal, an authentic journal of progress over time, an expository essay and an oral presentation with visual aids. Each senior works under the guidance of a faculty advisor and a consultant in the preparation and presentation of this project. The Senior Project can serve as a piece for review by future employers, as well as for review by college and university personnel, and may also serve as a basis for continued research beyond high school.
