The individual project offers students the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout the Preliminary course to the development of a specialised area of individual work. It engages students in a process of self-directed learning throughout the HSC year.

This section of the module provides approaches to the individual project. Teachers may make specific recommendations about which options fit the needs of individual students.

When choosing the project area most appropriate to them, students should work with their teacher to consider:

• the student's interest, knowledge, experience and skills

• access to the essential resources for the project areas

• access to experience and support with the various project areas.

Students can access an outline of all project areas through exploration of the project pages in this module. This will provide the opportunity for students to discuss the requirements and suitability of each project with their teacher.

Activities and questionnaires have been included in this section to help students assess their own abilities and understand the demands of each of the individual projects.
