For more information please see the entry under Life Sciences - Immunology

Independent Studies

Consult Professor C. Kanaganayakam, Room 305, Larkin Building, Trinity College (416-978-8250).
The College's Independent Studies Program affords students the opportunity of investigating in depth topics of their own choice that are not directly part of the present curriculum. These topics normally involve interdisciplinary study, though under some circumstances they may require concentrated work in a single discipline. The scope of acceptable topics embraces the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities. Participation in the program is restricted to students who have completed at least ten courses. The maximum number of independent studies half courses for which a student may receive credit is one, and the maximum number of independent studies full course equivalents for which a student may receive credit is two. Normally the work done is to be the equivalent of two full courses. Permission to register in an independent studies half course, or in an independent studies full course, will normally be granted only to students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50. Permission to undertake an independent studies project for the equivalent of two full courses will normally be granted only to students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.70.

All proposals are subject to the approval of the Coordinator.

Students must submit to the Co-ordinator before the beginning of the academic year a copy of their academic transcript and an outline of their topic (signed by the supervisor) and a suggested bibliography. For evaluation of the work done in the program a short thesis or equivalent is required, prepared and submitted by the last day of classes in the fall or winter session as appropriate. The supervisor and a second reader (nominated by the supervisor and approved by the Coordinator before the end of September) are responsible for the evaluation. The Coordinator will require regular progress reports throughout the year.
Either the supervisor or the second reader must be a tenured University of Toronto faculty member. A supervisor who is not a tenured University of Toronto faculty member will normally be required to be a full-time faculty member of the University.

Students enrolling for the first time register for one or more of TRN300H1, TRN301Y1, TRN302Y1, or for one or more of TRN400H1, TRN404Y1, and TRN405Y1, as appropriate. Those enrolling for a second time register in one or more of TRN400H1, TRN404Y1, and TRN405Y1, as appropriate.
