Blog # 16: Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

CONTENT:

 (1) I plan to continue on working on extra hours volunteering in the facility while reading books that relates to senior patients and hopefully apply that skills in the facility. 

(2) I will be reading books that relates to senior patients. I'll probably spent more time on reading than applying skills so I can get a deeper understanding of my topic.  Also, by reading books, It will help me get a more specific skills an activity coordinator will use everyday.  While I read books, hopefully it would help me understand more specific skills that I can apply to the seniors in the facility. In the facility, I can apply the skills and if it does works then it would help me 

(3) This time it would help me change the general skills i got from independent component 1 to be more specific.  Also, by doing this independent component,  I can back up the answers for my E.Q. based from experience and from the books.

Literal  

A. “I, Rizza Marie Pica, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.” 

B. I get to explore some possible answers to my E.Q. and not just the common answers. I also get to apply some skills to see if that certain skill is needed for me to apply to become an activity coordinator.

Interpretive

I think my log explained all the work that I've spent on my independent component. But just to explain it, having mini-experiment, observations, research, and applying skills does take take time. But applying the skills did really helped me and I'm happy to actually have this independent component to help me.

Applied

 - Well, without having this independent component I don't think I'll be able to explore more about the other possible answers for my E.Q. For example when I presented my 1st E.Q. answer all that I came up with is "good communication" now, I can be more specific like evaluation skills, time-management and I can actually back up my answers using the logs and articles.
