Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

1.) For my independent study I plan on working with my uncle's car. He fixes cars in his backyard and has offered to let help him out.
2.)In order to meet the requirement of 30 hours, I plan on going to his house every week or every other week. Transportation isn't an issue, so I don't see any problems in regard to that. In terms of what I'm  going to do, he's offered to show me how often to change oil, how to check the brake pads, how to change spark plugs and how they effect the car etc. A schedule of what is going to be taught and when its going to be taught is pending.
3.) My independent study relates to my senior topic because my uncle's been working on his own cars for years, and he knows them inside and out. My EQ is "What is the best way to achieve maximum performance in an Audi?' My uncle has tuned his own cars, and although they aren't Audis, the same concepts should apply.

  1. Approved. You need the following for evidence: a log sheet, signed each time by your uncle, and each day a summary of what you did.
