Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1. For my Independent Component 2, I've decided to do a survey. I've decided this because my EQ is mainly opinion based. I would like to get other people's opinion on what I've come up with and help me come up with my third answer.
2.  Like I said before I'm going to make a survey. The survey will be my evidence, along with the data I collect.
3.  This will help my senior project because I can see what other people would like to see in a pharmacy. It can also help me evolve my third answer.

Independent Component 1

Literal
(a) I, Sabrina Carrera, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 31 hours of work.
(b) Independent Component hours are up to date.
(c) I worked 31 extra hours at my mentorship.
Interpretive
I'm firm believer that your mentorship is the best place for research. You get to experience things first hand. You get to learn things you wouldn't read about. As for my proof, I couldn't actually take pictures of what I did due to the fact I deal a lot with patient's information. Luckily the pharmacy has an Instagram. I was featured in their flu shot reminder post. (It was a pretend shot.)




Applied
My independent component has helped my form my new essential question. With my first essential question, I didn't really know what I was doing. By working extra hours, I was exposed to problems the pharmacy encounters and how they solve the problems. An example would be when one of the retirement homes returned more medication than they were supposed to. We had to check to see why we had so much. We found out that they didn't give a patient their full prescription. Our solution to the problem was to go to the house and give a talk to the people in charge on how important it is to give patient's all of their medication.

I'm proud of my lesson because, besides talking really fast, I hit all the points I wanted to make.

2. a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation?
         AP
    b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from Lesson 2 component contract.

I think my activity worked really well. Everyone seemed to like it.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I talked really fast. I wish I had more water in my water cup so I can relax myself.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I think something about drug safety.
