independent work
Self-directed project effort
Independent work is activity done without supervision or collaboration—tasks you complete on your own rather than as part of a team.
In education, it refers to assignments students tackle without teacher guidance: The class spent thirty minutes on independent work.
In employment, it often describes freelance or self-directed labor outside traditional organizational structures.
