(a) I, Gawen Grunloh, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

(c) Log of my time spent on ALEKs.
(d) I completed 30 hours of course work on the ALEKs course for Statistics of Behavioral Science, which is outlined here.
INTERPRETIVE
I have screenshot of different intervals of myPie progress as well as the attendance report for the course work. My initial assessment was at 18%, my first checkpoint assessment showed that my acquired knowledge had doubled to 36%, and my second assessment showed an increase to 44%. I consider all of this good considering that I learned all of the material from ALEKs as I went along.

APPLIED
The course work at ALEKs helped me to understand how statistics work and how to best interpret statistical reports. Probability in populations is a large part of understanding crimes that could be committed within a certain community. Furthermore, this course work gave me a head start on understanding the work that I want to major in while in college; Political Science.
