1. What I plan to do for my 30 hours of Independent Component is to keep doing the same thing I was doing for mentorship, only this time I will work more with my mentor, Dr. Chen. By that I mean that I will shadow with her more often rather than how much I did for mentorship. I will shadow Dr. Chen and see how she treats her patients, as I'm shadowing her I will write down some questions that I'll have for her to answer by the time she's done seeing patients. After I'm done shadowing with her I will ask her if she could take some time to answer the questions I have for that day.
2. To meet the expectations of showing 30 hours of evidence for my Independent Component I will type out the questions and answers I asked my mentor. That way I have my evidence but I also have answers that will help me for my senior topic.
3. What I will be doing for my Independent Component will help me explore my topic in more depth by, helping me understand and answer my senior topic and essential question. The answers I will receive from my mentor will help me with my senior topic because the questions I will be asking are ones that I knew nothing about and find interest in.
