QBS 195 QBS Independent Study
The Independent Study course in QBS is structured to allow students to enhance their knowledge and training in related quantitative fields. QBS 195 may count as towards elective credit for QBS PhD students and MS of Epidemiology, Health Data Science, and Medical Informatics students, and it is offered each academic quarter. Course proposals are to be developed between the student and a QBS, or otherwise approved, faculty member prior to the start of the quarter and submitted to QBS Administration for a approval a week before the end of the drop/add period. The proposal should reflect 3.3 hours of instruction per week and a minimum of 6.6 hours of student work per week for the entirety of the quarter. The student and faculty will work together to structure the project timeline and set deliverables that are to be met by the end of quarter. Students should clearly define the purpose, expectations, and the timeline of deliverables in their proposal. The faculty member is responsible for tracking and evaluating the student's progress in order to provide a grade to the QBS Administration at the end of the quarter. Please email Dr. Kristine Giffin for more information.
