Hello,
Today we review for our exam. Mr. Schick finally posted a study guide on his blog, but it had no information. It was just everything that we learned. If I would have known that the study guide would just be him putting what we have learned on it I wouldn't have waited for it. I don't know why it took so long for him to do this, I thought that it would have a bit of notes on the things we learned, but no. Even though this is too bad, most of the notes that I have on the things we have learned are either in my notebook, blog, or on a powerpoint that he made that is posted on his blog. I believe that I am going to do very well. He basically just sped through the study guide as fast as he could which didn't really help but I don't think he really had a choice. Although I think that I will do very well on the exam even though it is a lot of information.
He said we will review again on Monday if we have school because of the snow, I hope we can review more.

Going Over the Test and Exam Study Guide
Hello,
Today, in class, we went over the test. Today was an unproductive day because I got a 100% on the test and there wasn't anything that I didn't understand. So while everyone went over it I didn't really pay that much attention to the answers because I had all of the right ones. So this class was fun because I really slacked off. I also got to listen to Grace rant at lunch about her test, which was interesting. Also I thought that we were going to get the exam study guide, but then Mr. Schick told us that he will post it on the blog. It would have been better if he just gave us a written copy, but this is fine. I just hope that he finishes it fast so that I can start studying.
I hope we have a good class tomorrow or he finishes the exam study guide!

Test Today!
Hello,
Today we took a test on micro finance. I didn't think that it was very hard and I think that it was a good way to get some extra points in the class. Before, Mr. Schick gave us some time to study our notes. I think he did this because it had a lot to do on Kiva. Some of the questions asked for like specific number answers. When I turned it in I was almost positive that I got a 100% and if I didn't I was 100% positive that I at least got an A. After Arri was done Mr. Schick went over and graded all of our tests. After he announced what we got I found out that I got a 100%! I was very happy that I got a 100% because that will very much help out my grade. I was about 1 of 3 that got a 100% on the test and it will most likely bring my grade up to an A.
I hope we go over microfinance more on Monday because I think we need to learn more about it.

Academic Team/Microfinance
Hello,
Today in class we went over a presentation that Mr. Schick made. We didn't do much other than that. In the beginning of the class however we talked about the academic team that Mr. Schick runs. He told us about how some people just hang around and only answer about 1 answer correct. Then he talked about how John Carroll has won a lot of the matches that they have played against other schools. One of our matches was even filmed and we got on a popular TV show called "It's Academic." Also in that match that was filmed we won! I think that I may watch the episode that is on TV even though it is on a Saturday. I watched one episode and it was very boring, but I think it would be better watching people that I actually know on the show!
We don't have class tomorrow but we have a test on microfinance Friday!

Going Over Our Powerpoint
Hello,
Today we came back from Thanksgiving Break. I am really disappointed that the break is over, but it had to end sometime. Anyway, what we did today was that we went over the presentation that we all worked on as a class in google documents. The presentation was on the topic of micro finance which is what we have been learning about for a couple days now. Our presentation wasn't as good as the other sections. We really didn't have a lot of coordination in our presentation because some people didn't even make slides and others made basically the same slide, with the same information. I think that our presentation went good because we had a lot of information that we needed. Apparently Mr. Schick thought that we had more information, but the other class had a better look to their presentation, and it was a better presentation. I think when it comes down to it the information matters. So I think that ours was better.
Soon we will have a test on this subject and I will make notecards to remember things about Micro finance.
