Nicks Geographic Angle

I figured that as I wrapped up my studying for the day, I would recap through a blog in which I have no clue whether we're supposed to do or not. I did a fair amount of Math though I feel as if I could've done more. I'm very interested to see the format of that test anyways. In addition to studying for math, I also took a look at my Spanish quizlets, but let's not forget that I made Human Geo quizlets on that same platform to allow easy studying (all in one). So after a little studying in all of these departments, I hopped over to Veracross and found that I only got 90% on my most recent Human Geo quiz. A mild disappointment. But now I'm eager to see what I missed when I took that, because I was pretty confident when I took it, I mean really confident . That was very upsetting, though I figured so long as I do well on my exam, I ought to be fine, that is why I am worrying on my future grades much more than my previous grades in hopes that by doing so, I can lift the

Today, instead of going to Human Geography for Mod 1, I was in a local Urgent Care for my lip which had swollen so great due to my braces. In addition to seeing a doctor, I took my time while waiting to look over a few quizlets, attempting to slowly ease myself into this next week where Exams begin. To be honest, these quizlets are very interactive and usually help. With that said, they only help when they are done right and honestly, that’s definitely the hardest part in studying. I feel as if that’s the case for both making quizlets and also studying period. Or else I would be much more prone to studying endlessly! While that might be an overstatement, you get the point. Lastly, since I was absent today from Human Geo, I don’t believe I have to have all the words that I normally usually do.  With that said, I conclude my December 13, 2019 Blog Post, See you later!  

Like yesterday, we looked into the Exam and mainly focused on the essay in which will be done this coming Friday. In addition to looking into the Essays, I confirmed my stances on the essay in which is required for the exam. Luckily, even after watching a brief argument between David and Mr. Schick it was made definitive that we would be able to use note cards to assist in writing our essays this Friday.  As the class wrapped up, I asked Mr. Schick what advice he would give me so that I can do well in my exams, he told me that since I had done quite well in his class, he would advise me to focus on these other exams since I would likely not struggle with his exam. I'm still a bit skeptical though I am going to take his advice and focus more on the other exams. Now, just because I'm studying more for the other exams, it does NOT mean that I will never study for Human Geo, in fact, I'm going to begin studying some Human Geo then math following the conclusion of this Blog

So today, even though we had gone over it for multiple classes, we really took time to focus on our exam essays. Unlike what was popular among my class mates, I chose to approach Exam prompt 1, which has me compare three nations and their unique population and migration regulations etc. This seemed hard from the start actually and is why I took up the challenge to answer the question. For my nations, which I need three of, I hesitantly chose the United States, Japan, and Syria as my nations. I did this in caution because I knew the exam itself was challenging, I did not want to make it impossible for myself. When I ran this idea by Mr. Schick, he liked the uniqueness that will likely come along with researching 3 different nations. Unlike these other nations, I have heard very few stories regarding the immigration of Syria and Japan.  Without being too political, I am eager to find what causes these changes in immigration and population throughout these nations. The most startling

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

After two classes (sort of) focusing solely on Demographic Transition and its 5 stages, I believe I'm starting to fully understand why these stages occur. For the most part, we can attribute these different stages to the medical field though other factors such as family culture and even religion. I asked several questions throughout the class regarding the reasoning behind why these stages haven't occurred much faster throughout history. It was then explained to me by Mr. Schick that it mostly medical advances which altered the speed in how these stages work. After his response, I was pretty surprised that it hadn't just come naturally after we had discussed that subject plenty of times throughout the previous classes.  To help us better understand the principles behind the Demographic Transition stages, we were required to copy down the chart that was projected on the whiteboard which showed the rates of certain population indicators throughout the stages. These rates w

Demographic Transition Videos Khan Academy Video: 1. I learned that the Religion can have a large impact on population within family sizes because these Religions usually promote larger families to produce more adherents. 2.  I was able to make more sense of how our growing population can be threatened by the limited resources contained on our Earth, which makes me wonder about how future generations will conserve their limited supply of these resources. 3. Lastly, I was startled to find that there may be a push for smaller families across the world because it is now more of a economical burden then support for your lifestyle; such as farming where having more kids would be of more use. PCC Videos, The Demographic Transition Theory: 1. I was baffled to say the least when I found out that our world population (Throughout the past few thousand years) at grown at a pace of 67,000 people per year and our world now produces that much off spring in about 6-7 hours. 2. I started

Today we did something a bit different in Human Geography class, that being we read over a packet and highlighted content which we felt was important to add on to our Population Unit. I was a bit surprised that we decided to visit Population again after going to Religion, which I feel is quite far off from Religion in some ways. The packet we reviewed (independently) had plenty of  great content, to a point where I was wondering whether I should stop highlighting, which I did.  Now for a deeper dive into the packets information. Firstly, It went over things we had already discussed: Crude Birth Rate, Crude Death Rate, and Natural Rate of Increase but it put it into a better perspective, combing them all to create the four stages of The Demographic Transition. Simply put, these stages are: Very little growth/very little decline, Massive Population Boom, Massive Fall in Population, and then they all pretty much meet to settle the NIR but having a much higher population then the one
