<p>I am considering taking an independent study class at my university for the first time in the Spring semester. I haven’t done this before, so would like to ask… what does it mostly consist of? What is it like?</p>
<p>I’ve taken some through a junior college which were pretty easy and not too much work. I haven’t taken one from a four year university. I did find that office hours to explain anything complicated from the reading to be most helpful. Professors also tend to be much more available through email than I have found for my regular classes. </p>
<p>Which course are you taking? Someone here may have direct experience with your planned course.</p>
