Please provide a general description of the independent study including purpose and expected outcomes. The class that I am petitioning to take as an independent study is a Study of Science Fiction Films. This class would take place of one of my film electives. I believe an independent study would be beneficial rather than the traditional class due to the fact SCAD does not currently offer specifically science fiction film classes and my life circumstances. I am expecting my first child in March

Addendum to Independent Study in Sound Design and Sound System Component Operation This past year (2000) I have been working in the sound booth for The John Lyman Center for the Performing Arts.

This network improves the day-to-day life by adding value and usefulness to the computers. The processes and ideas that I have learned thru this experience can be applied directly into today’s rich electronic business environment. Identifying
Independent Novel Reader Response 3. I am most fond of Oshima, the librarian because he is humble and straightforward. Oshima has a way with his words, and he can usher people out of his presence easily. In one of the cases, Oshima ushered two untasteful so called “feminists”. He stated that “intolerant, narrow minds with no imagination are like parasites that transform the host, change form and continue to thrive”. What I also loved about Oshima, was that he trusted Kafka without doubting
The Independent Study was similar to my preconceptions in regards to the amount of work the assignment called for, and the research that I would have to undertake. As I had completed the Research Project already, I knew what to expect in terms of workload, assessment requirements, and organisational features.

to an action. In terms of research academics, independent and dependent variables are concepts or attributes to certain things that occur such as drug use, crime, or domestic abuse. For example, stress or other personal problems may lead to someone to use drugs. Also, poverty may lead someone to commit crime. In addition, a power controlled individual may cause a partnership to suffer physical or verbal abuse. In research, the cause is the independent variable and the outcome is the dependent variable
The independent variable is two groups being asked about a time when they felt angry at a friends or family members.

The Blockbuster vs. The Indie The thought of there being a co-existence between the major studios and the independent studios a few years ago
endeavors, I have long cherished a dream to be a member of the social science research community, which gives our society progressive insights into human ecology.

Comparing The Sun and The Times The two newspapers which I am going to write about and discuss are “The Sun”, which is a tabloid newspaper and “The Times”, which is a broadsheet. The newspapers are both dated Monday 10 November, 2003. The first difference is that the broadsheet is bigger than the tabloid. People read tabloids for entertainment and gossip. The broadsheet caters for readers who are interested in hard news and who are professional, such as lawyers, doctors, and teachers. There
