Directed studies are an interactive, small group experience. Directed studies are conducted for 90 minutes on each of three consecutive days, are often investigative in nature, and provide opportunities for more personal involvement. During the directed study, the presenter provides a model and a close going hand; the participant show be able to pose questions, develop conceptual understanding through exploration, and draw conclusions.
