Skills to produce quality products for these components are developed throughout the previous 3 years at Skyview. 0.25 credits are assigned each semester – 1st semester focus is the research paper and 2nd semester focus is the PDP. Senior teachers act as mentors. Information regarding the Senior Project is given out in the senior English and CWP classes.
