1) I am still indecisive about what i will be doing for my independent component, but i do have a few ideas as to what I can do. The first is to do more service learning hours than required. I am going to be doing my service learning at NICB, but i was talking to the FBI to see if they can fit me somewhere there so for my independent component i can count those hours instead. Another would be a class, yet i am finding that to be difficult because of my age and lack of prerequisites from other college classes. I have been trying to find maybe an online course that i can take to cover this component also. I was wondering if i could take a language course? online or at a college, because one of the my answers is good communication skills and knowing many languages falls under that category. The more you know, the more cases you can work on because you can talk to witness' etc.
2) I will either do 30 more hours of work, or my class and homework should cover more than 30 hours.
3) This will relate to my EQ because from the classes or extra hours i will learn more methods and techniques used by investigators. Learning these i will find out different skills and get more answers for my EQ.
The idea of an online class is a good one. You might see if you can talk a professor into letting you sit in/audit a class. You wouldn't get the grade for doing it, but you would get the knowledge base, and if you did all the work, you might even create a mentor further down the line. The service learning would be okay if you know that you would be able to get 90 hours all together. The language things makes sense, but it is too much of a stretch for this component : )
