Today we focused on the key question of what truly makes up Human Geography. It is incredible the depths you can go to while exploring each branch. First of all, Human Geography deals with the study of all aspects of life from the Environment all the way to the Economy of certain regions and countries. With that said, a point was made today that we can learn quite a lot by looking at thematic maps which can chart anything about a general area such as it's average citizen energy use or maybe their calorie intake per day. By comparing certain areas you can sometimes see substantial differences which can assist in researching geographic issues such as an influx of population or even a lack of exercise. While thematic maps can be useful for gathering data, they may not give you the landscape or the climate of a general area as a Physical Map would. Physical Maps are great for researching and discovering parts of either your region or world that you didn't know about. Last but...
I just finished a 20 Question-ish Quiz in which I feel very confident! It was on the same content in which we studied and I didn't do as much studying as I had done in the past. I think a large reason for my less successful quizzes in this class (And even Algebra 2) is because I overstudy, which sounds funny. Though I believe this strategy of overstudying includes psyching myself out, which obviously isn't contributing in a positive way to my grade on the assignment. I may not be proud to say though I only studied for this Quiz for only about 45 minutes, which don't get me wrong, is still quite a lot of time. So long as I focused in class, and give the notes I took a once over, I seem to be doing well. Luckily, in Mr. Schick's class, I tend to be able to take good notes down, not because we go off in tangents, but because we tend to dive deep when the content we will be assessed on doesn't go that deep. Besides today's Quiz, we took a glance at our Exam sc...
We had a Pop Quiz today in Western Civilization, this is not what I expected nor what I wanted. After the first quiz which I had planned for, Mr. Schick instantly pulled this next one out. I was prepared though, meaning, I did do a fair job on both quizzes. On the first quiz, the planned one, I probably got in the 90's, the only area of uncertainty on that quiz was the ages of advancement, which I was not aware would be on the quiz, I should have expected it though. With those Age questions, luckily they were multiple choice which means I took an educated guess and have about more than a 50/50 chance of getting them correct. Besides that, it was a regular class and we spent the ending of it with the pop quiz which, yet again I feel mediocre on. I am preparing for the test which was announced today to be on Friday (likely). I am doing so by creating a QUIZLET, which I know has some unique power within our Western Civilization class. That concludes the February 4th Blog Post, Ti...
