Higher Geography is a shambles for me aha, my assignment isn't happening and neither is the physical course work 🙈
How are you finding crashing higher? Must be quite difficult! I noticed that in my human courses a lot of the information we learned last year!

Higher geography is a shambles for me too, I have no idea what to do for the assignment findings - I am doing “Should Mumbai (Dharavi) have the same housing strategies as Morocco (Bidonvilles)” any help would be much appreciated! Fair play to you crashing higher this year, I liked N5 but have found with Higher there is so much more to know in a lot more detail!

It doesn't help that my teacher is the opposite of helpful.

Good luck on your assignment, I know if you type into Google "SQA Understanding Standards" then it gives you sample assignments and what mark they were given.

I've moved this thread over to Scottish qualifications for you, and hopefully a few others doing Higher Geography will join in the discussion!

I done my assignment before Christmas too. I am so glad that we did now that I’m currently trying to complete ones for my other subjects.
I find the physical course notes difficult to memorise. Hoping that our exam has a pretty good formation of a feature question.

I have dropped it down to units! Crashing it was too hard and I have been given no support from my teacher :/ I tried asking for help by doing exam questions at home and bringing them in but she says "I might look at them, but I probably won't mark it".... Helpful. I gave her exam answers I had done at home (Ones i struggled with in the prelim/mock exam) 3/4 weeks ago and have nothing back and it was a question i struggled with the most. I did enjoy geography but with no support or help in passing the course I'm a lost cause. Luckily I don't need geography but it could have still been another Higher Qualification.

I know they have a lot of pressure and a lot of classes, but that is really rubbish for you...It does seem like quite a difficult higher to crash though it is a shame you're not getting the full qualification out of it. Guess it gives you more time to concentrate on your other subjects at least

That's rubbish that your teacher hasn't been very supportive

Yes, i'm trying to look on the brighter side of it but it is unfortunate, I really did try my best in that class but... I guess you can't be good at everything!

Do you need to know anything about coastal defence (like sea walls and groynes) bc my teacher went over them but I've never seen them in past papers or textbooks

Does anyone have any predictions about what questions will come up in the exam?? Here are mine:
Physical:
- HYDROSPHERE!!! (It hasn’t come up since 2015)
- coastal formations (possibly coastal conflicts/solutions)
- global heat budget OR oceanic circulation OR itcz impacts
- brown Earth OR podzol formations
Human:
- housing problems OR housing solutions & effectiveness (developed city)
- solutions & effectiveness to land degradation
- population pyramids
Global issues (depends what you’ve studied, here are my predictions for Development & Health and Climate Change):
- factors affecting development
- human (possibly physical too) causes of climate change

I think the need for management of housing or traffic will come up. Our teacher went over it yesterday as he found it in the course notes he was oven when they changed to the new higher.
