Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

1. For my independent component, I plan on continuing with my elective, which is Peer Mediation. Also, anytime I read a book or watch a movie that has to do with psychology I take notes on it.
2. This plan should meet the 30 hours of work requirement because we have elective twice a week and for at least one hour. It also met the requirement for last semester, also any activities that we may have during peer mediation outside of elective time will help me meet this requirement. And since I'll also be taking separate notes outside of the regular research checks this should help me as well.
3. This relates to my EQ because by learning more and more about how to help people manage or fix their problems, this helps make any psychologist more successful and it makes their patients believe in their psychologist so that way they can come back whenever they need to.

Independent Component 1

I Griselda, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
During the time in which I am in Peer Mediation, I have learned how to deal with and approach the different types of human emotion in a safe and non-violent manner. I also learned how to deal with either one person, or with a group of people that are having a problem and help them resolve that problem in a way so that all members in the group are satisfied with the outcome. For example these are a few of the techniques that are used to help solve a problem:

Each day we learn different ways that we can help other people either by resolving a conflict or by doing simulations. This helps me with my senior project because it helps me understand more and better ways of being able to helping and treat patients in the future. I can also always refer back to the worksheets that I get whenever I may be confused about something.
