Independent Study has been really fun. I have learnt a lot and the process of it has been great. I am also now prepared for the various papers I might need to do in highschool. Here are some of the things in my study that I know off the top of my head.
- J.P. Morgan and James Stillman effectively saved the american economy.
- There are 5 steps in minting coins: Blanking, Annealing, Upsetting, Striking and Inspecting.
- The New Zealand Dollar is the 15th most valuable currency in the world.
- There are 1.2 New Zealand Dollars in an American Dollar.
- There are roughly NZ$1200 in a Bitcoin.
- One of the cousins of the Bitcoin is the BBQcoin.
Researching was originally very difficult for me. This was mainly because I didn't know very much about the topic at the beginning of the year and there was a lot to be reaserched. Now, however, I am greatly interested in the topic and know more than ever. I hope that I can get at least highly commended in my study. That would make me very happy. If I get a placing then I would be over the moon. Many of the topics in our class seem very interesting as well. The Titanic, Herge and Captain James Cook seem quite interesting and The students doing those topics also seem to know lots about their topic.
Overall, this year at school has been amazing and I hope that life can be similar later on.
