Independent Study Opportunities
I am looking for students who want to do an independent study with me. Yes, you'll get credit for working with me, that's the idea.
It helps if you got a decent grade in one of my courses, and it helps if you are at least a junior. But neither of these is a strict requirement.
I am currently most interested in video game design, software engineering, and programming languages, but I am open to your ideas as well. Interested? Let's talk!
