DSRS4105 Independent Study 1 - Flinders University

Overview

This topic is designed to enable students to develop areas of interest arising out of theoretical and research literature in disability studies and community rehabilitation. A range of activities is permissible. In each case students must indicate their ability to work independently and demonstrate mastery of the literature in an area of disability studies and community rehabilitation. Students will require supervision from an academic staff member in order to formulate a program of study. Independent studies can be linked to a Practicum Specialisation or be completed as part of an honours program, which will facilitate a student gaining an increased depth of knowledge about supporting individuals dealing with a particular issue or living with a specific support need. Securing the approval of and academic staff member to supervise the study is essential.
