Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1. For my 2nd independent component, I'll be taking a free online course in anatomy and physiology provided by Carnegie Mellon University's Open Learning Initiative. The class consists of 15 units and a total of 57 different modules to work on. If I spend 30 minutes a day studying and going through the course, I'll have well over 30 hours before the independent component is due.

2. Each of the modules has little quizzes and the units have tests, so I'm planning on taking screenshots and/or printing out my tests and quizzes to show that I actually completed the course.

3. I figure this is a great way to supplement my knowledge on physical therapy while simultaneously going to mentorship each week and applying that knowledge to some extent. I've found that a good amount of the things my mentor shares with me take some time to settle in my brain before I can wrap my head around the concepts, and I think it's because I haven't really taken a straight up anatomy course yet. I had some basic anatomy in sophomore year, but not enough to make me confident in my knowledge.
