Test outline

Today in class we discussed the format on the test. First we did some example questions from our test. We had to find many things from the world fact book. Some examples are death rate and infant mortality rate. After finding some information on the fact book we went over some of the topics that will be on the test. One of the topics was net migration. Net migration is the difference between the number of immigrants and the number of emigrants throughout the year. Another topic is the total fertility rate. The total fertility rate is the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime. We also discussed the rate of natural increase. The rate of natural increase is the difference between the number of live births and the number of deaths occurring in a year, divided by the mid-year population of that year, multiplied by a factor. We also discussed push and pull factors. I definitely need to study but I fell that I will do okay on the test.
