APGEO: Population and migration vocab quiz results and corrections info.

A lot of students struggled with the vocabulary quiz, so we will review the Demographic Transition Model and population pyramids next week, and we will also go over study strategies. It is extremely important that all of you take responsibility for learning the material we cover. Be honest with yourself about whether you understand a concept, and if you need help, ask about it in class or after school. When you take the AP exam in May, your grades in class won't matter - all that will matter is whether you thoroughly know the content of the course and can demonstrate that knowledge on the exam.

Quiz results:

Students could miss 4 points and still earn 100%.

Average grade: C+ (79%)
Top scorers: Lawton, Caleb

Corrections information: Students can earn back up to half the points they missed by doing test corrections. These are due by Friday of next week. You can find a copy of the quiz here for corrections purposes - same procedure as last time (definition in your own words and a good example - convince me that you understand the concept tested in each question).

Other upcoming deadlines:

Tuesday, 11/2: Final draft of population paper due (printed or emailed) by the beginning of class.
Wednesday, 11/3: Powerpoint presentation on population paper due; these will be presented in class.

Have a great three-day weekend,
Mr. McCarl
