Post #7 Changes to my study programme

-

As I said in previous post, I am a third year Natural Renewable Resources Engineering student. Until now, I notice that my current degree has a huge diversity of subjects. The subjects cover almost all the areas or topics about natural renewable resources and engineering methods, giving important knowledge from a general point of view. For example, I have mathematical, biological, chemical, physical subjects, even some environmental law subjects. Also, some of them are linked with project management or territoriality. So, as far as I understand, in the first 3 years of study, you ended up the degree knowing about multiple topics o areas, but nothing too specific.

Then, in the following two year, as far as I am aware the subjects are more specific to certain topics. In fact, you must choose professional electives, which delve deeper in different areas of interest to the degree.

In relation to workload and length of studies based on my experience, it is a lot of information to learn sometimes. And I have to do a considerable number of reports, even more than tests.

If I could change something about the study program, I would add a subject in the first year of the degree, focus in showing what kind of work you are going to do in your job. Because I have been studying for three years, and I don’t have any idea where or what kind of work I will be doing. And also, I would add a professional elective about land-use planning around renewable energies.

    I also think that it's too much information to process, and it is taught so fast!

    It is a lot of information that I end up memorizing and then forgetting, it is not a good mechanism to learn D:

    I think that showing what kind of work u are going to do in your job is such a great idea. I'm at my second year and I still don't know too much about it

    Hiii, I agree that is necessary to add a subject in the first year focused on showing us what kind of work we could do after we finished the career.

    I agree with you. Considering a subject that helps you choose a job or that at least orientates you it's a great idea

    I also think that there should be a subject in the first years about what we will do in a future job, it would be very useful.

Post #8: English Language Challenges

I really enjoyed the English subject during this semester, both classes and written activities were enjoyable and challenging to do. In synchronic classes, miss Barria created a good conversational environment, that made you wanted to participate, where she kindly corrected your mistakes, and taught you the right way to express yourself. I learned how to talk and express myself about a huge variety of topics, which resulted in an improvement in my communication skills in this language. In my opinion, the written activities, which in this case were the blogs, were a good method to constantly practice grammar skills and improve them in the process. Besides that, as I mentioned before, those were fun and challenging to do, because the blogs´ topics were amusing and interesting. Apart from that, I think I need to improve my communication skills, amplify even more my vocabulary and review all over again basic grammar rules. For thar purpose, I have the intention to take an English course, f

Post #2: My best holidays

  Since I was a child, I went to different places for holidays and I really enjoyed all of them, some of them more than others. But the best holiday I ever had were on February of 2017, when I was 17. It was the first time in my life traveling too far away alone, and for so long. I went to Puerto Montt with three friends, Valentina, Michelle, and Paz. We stayed in Valentina´s grandparents house for about a week, her grandparents were kind and sweet people. We did a complete tour of the region, we went to a lot of different places in Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas, Chiloe, Frutillar, and Petrohue. We visited toreutics destination, natural parks, national parks, restaurants, and craft fairs. That was the first time I saw such beautiful places, with all that magnificent and imponent nature. Despite the cold in the south of Chile that I don’t like it at all, I really enjoyed that holiday in Puerto Montt with my friends, eating, traveling, and laughing.
