talking with faculty at New College outside of class is not
optional--it’s mandatory
This faculty member, the contract sponsor, must approve your choice
of classes each semester, and will help you connect with other
faculty members who can further support your goals.

Each student is responsible in the last analysis for his or her own education. The best education demands a joint search for learning by exciting teachers and able students. Students’
progress should be based on demonstrated competence and real mastery
rather than on the accumulation of credits and grades. Students should have from the outset opportunities to explore areas of deep interest to them.
