EQ: How can an electrician best wire a house when remodeling?
Answer 2: By having permits/licenses and following guidelines for residential wiring.
1. If wiring is done poorly a city inspector can force the residence to either fix the rewiring job or not enter the building. This can cause companies and homeowners problems. An example is my mentor had to get permits to place a circuit in his backyard.
2. When remodeling/rewiring work (I put them together because they are usually done together. Even if not, rewiring still requires tearing down of walls.) is being done permits from the city before hand to even begin the work is needed. If work is done before without city permission then there can be consequences. My aunt had fixed her garage to be a room for her son so he can have his own room, but she didn't get permission from the city so when a city inspector came by my aunt was forced to revert it back to a garage because she didn't even try to get the permits.
3. If a house has bad wiring and isn't up to standard then not only will price of the house fall because it is below standards, and it will also be harder to sell. This is not good for any home owner. An example could be if a home has a messed up circuit in the bathroom so the light won't turn on and if a hair dryer is plugged in, it probably wouldn't turn on. Not even a curling iron or hair straightener. These appliances typically take up a lot of energy already so having bad circuits won't help.

In order for an electrician to best wire a house, they must acquire permits/licenses and follow the guidelines for residential wiring.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1
Content:
Literal:
a) I, Cesar Lopez, affirm that I have completed my independent component which represents for 30 hours of work.
b) The "Physics Giancoli 6th Edition" textbook was the only book I used to complete this assignment as the assignment was to cornell note this book. I did use the the PDF solutions to reference to when I got stuck though.
c) Go to Blog or click here
d) Basically what I did was cornell note 7 chapters from the Giancoli textbook then solve the levels 1&2 problems leaving out the level 3 problems in the book.
Interpretive: Well my work speaks for itself I suppose because these are pictures of the notebook I worked in. Its the notes I did and questions I answered that I was assigned to do. It demonstrates 30 hours of work because it takes time to learn the equations I needed to know in order to do the problems and it also takes a while to read and do cornell notes on 7 chapters of the Giancoli textbook.
Literal:
Well basically this helped me by giving me a stronger understanding to the basics of electronics and how circuits and things like batteries or generators work. Throughout the chapters I read about conductors, resistors, circuits, inductors, capacitors, grounding (and how it works), amps, electric potential and so much more. This was a great thing to read for me with the exception of a few sections. Other than that I'm pretty satisfied with the content of this book. It didn't leave me asking what it was trying to say or anything. It also helped me understand cool things like why we shock each other. Overall what I'm really taking away from this independent component is basically what we learn when Mrs. Pittman shows us how to derive an equation. In a way I have learned where many of the terms electricians use, like conductors, circuits, etc. was "derived" from. It cleared up many small questions I had.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval
1) I plan to buy a component pack from makershed.com called "Make: Component Pack 1." In this pack I will get the opportunity to build circuits and do other experiments with electricity. The component pack comes with videos and instructions that will take me step-by-step through what to make so that I can learn and master the basics of electricity such as voltage, amperage, resistance, and more.
2) In order to meet the expectation of 30 hours, I will take pictures of my completed experiments and for some or most of them break down what I did in the log and what it taught me or what area it helped me out with.
3) This component pack can help me by allowing me to do some hands on learning by working with electricity, circuits, resistors, amperage, and much more. These are the basics to electronics and electricity and so with my senior topic being electrician I feel that this is very relevant and will help me greatly.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection
Content:
1. Positive statement: I was most proud of my case studies because my case studies allowed me to use the information I learned and the information I planned to teach and incorporate it into my own story. In a way it was another way of explaining to myself the safety precautions that electricians use during the job.
2. Questions to consider:
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson 2 presentation
b. I would give myself a P, I felt like I met all the requirements and I brought a few props. I feel that I explained my information well and I gave the class enough information to correctly complete the activity which many wouldn't have known much about before my presentation took place. My main fault was having a plain powerpoint.
3. What worked for you in Lesson 2?
I thought that I felt confident enough to not stress out over making time or not. To be honest I didn't rehearse my presentation beforehand. All I really did was plan and think out what I wanted to be on the slides and I figured it would be enough.
4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2? I would go back and add more color to my presentation, maybe even change my puns and throw in a couple of jokes throughout to keep people more interested in my presentation. I would also try to create some sort of activity where I can give out small prizes to ensure more cooperation.
5. Finding Value
What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I think my second answer will be "By having permits and following the guidelines for residential wiring."
