The week before the test I had multiple ways of studying. First, I read all of the chapters again to ensure that I did not skip any relevant information. Next, I studied the information with a partner, in this case Luka Sumic. We looked at all of the topics and asked both detailed and vague questions about them. Finally, I re-read all of the chapters the day before the test to refresh my memory.
a) Do you think your studying strategies were effective - why/why not?
I think that my studying strategies were very effective because I remember all of the information very well. Also, when you ask your partner a question, you tend to think of the answer as-well, insuring the fact that you did not forget the information. Another thing is that reading the information before the test refreshes your memory so if you focused to much on other subjects, all the information returns to your brain.
b) Hoe will you prepare next time?
Next time we have a test I will prepare the same way I did for this one, read, quiz, and refresh; but I will also focus a bit more on two factors I though were less important. These factors are, definitions of important words, and I must focus more on the geography and start of empires or civilizations.
2. What was the most surprising thing you learned about during this unit.
During the unit about Rome and Christianity, I found two things very interesting. One, was learning about emperor Nero, how he tortured the Christians, the fire of 64C.E. and his plans for the golden house. Next, I was very surprised by the Emperor Caligula. Caligula shocked me because I cannot see why the people did not revolt against him. He dug up Alexander the Greats armor, stuffed his horse and made him a senator.
3. If we had more time to spend on Rome and Christianity, what would you want to learn more about?
If we were to spend more time on this unit I would like to learn more about Cleopatra. I think that it would be interesting to learn about Cesar's love interest and how all of it worked out. Also, I think we should have spent more time on emperor Nero, and Augustus because I feel that they are two of the most important people in Rome's history,
