NAIS 86 Independent Research in Native American Studies

This course is designed for a student who wishes to research a particular problem in greater depth than is possible in an Independent Study course (NAS 085). The Chair must give approval, and a faculty advisor will be assigned to each student to supervise the work through regular class meetings. Usually a formal paper embodying the results of the research is required. A student wishing to enroll in this course must first discuss the topic with a faculty member, who will serve as research advisor, and then submit a formal research proposal to the Program. Students are awarded one course credit for successful completion of this course upon completion of NAS 087. Students register for NAS 086 and receive a grade of "ON" (ongoing) at the end of the term. Students then register for NAS 087 the subsequent term to complete the coursework. A final grade will replace the "ON" in NAS 086 upon completion of NAS 087.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
