What is the best term for.....

<p>Hi</p>

<p>I am trying to figure what is the best term for studies a student does on his own. That is the study one does on returning from college – learning,memorizing, homework etc.</p>

<p>I am guessing either “self study” or “independent study”. I don’t want the term for the study you do when you are taking a whole course on own without any formal schooling. Got it?</p>

<p>Hmm, confusion, confusion.</p>

<p>What is the popular term with you guys? How do you refer to it?</p>

<p>“independent study” is commonly used if you learn about a subject by yourself without the help of a teacher.</p>
