http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_study

Independent study is a form of education offered by many high schools, colleges, and other educational institutions.[1] It is sometimes referred to as directed study, and is an educational activity undertaken by an individual with little to no supervision.[2] Typically a student and professor or teacher agree upon a topic for the student to research with guidance from the instructor for an agreed upon amount of credits.[3] Independent studies provide a way for well-motivated students to pursue a topic of interest that does not necessarily fit into a traditional academic curriculum.[4] They are a great way for students to learn specialized material or gain research experience.[5] Also, independent studies provide students opportunities to explore their interests deeper and make important decisions about how and where they will direct their talents in the future.
