Changes to my study programme

 

I’m studying Engineering in Natural Renewable Resources. And I’m going to start talking about my experience with the career program. In the second semester I failed Calculus II, since then I’ve been doing some crazy stuff to be able to course some subjects. Like sending 30 mails to our career chief for him to add subjects in the semesters that does not have them available, luckily it worked! The reason I did this was because since 2021 a new career program has been added, so if we fall behind, we will be forced to change our career program between the old one (our current program) and the new one. This is a big problem because if it happens, since there are different subjects in each program, the ones that aren’t repeated would’ve been passed in vain. With this said, I would give more flexibility between the programs, giving the students the opportunity to take new and old subjects. I would also invest more resources to let the students take any subject in any semester, by adding teachers.

About the program’s content, I think it is taught way to fast, even though it lasts 5 years, we don’t have any chance to genuinely learn things, we can only memorize things which are forgotten a few weeks later, we are way overloaded. Obviously, it depends on the subject, but hard subjects like Calculus should be taught slowly. Giving us the chance to learn it properly. However, I think that the content as such is alright, the problem is the way they teach it.

    Hi! Omg, I had no idea that we would have to change our program if we have to take a subject again 😱 I agree with you, it id necessary to be more flexible

    Definitely is necessary to be more flexible, mainly with the last generation with the last programme. It´s necessary that this change would be a transition.

A country i'd like to visit

I’ve never been a person with a high interest on travelling around the world. I think I prefer the idea of going to national Parks and stunning places in our beautiful country. Anyway, talking about other countries, I’d like to go to France, and there are two main reasons, one of them it’s that I love the language and the way the people talk, and the second one, it’s that France it’s a country that is very related to the career I’m studying. It is a country that leads in clean energy topics, and a lot of global warming events and agreements have taken place there.  You can guess that if one of my main reasons to find it an interesting country it’s because it’s related to my career in a certain way, I would like to study there to become a better professional. But at least in the present day, I don’t want to live the rest of my life in other country. I only have “study” purposes.

The best concert of my life

  I don’t really have a favourite musical genre. It depends on my mood, but when I think about a musical band that I loved since my childhood, I would say Gorillaz without a doubt. They’re an indie British band with a very particular aesthetic style. The first song that I listened from them is called Clint Eastwood . I also saw the song video in YouTube, and I realised that the band don’t show their faces. They show animated characters instead.  Later in 2017, I found out that they were going to come to Santiago from Chile, in Movistar Arena. My friends also like the band a lot, so we agreed that we would go together. When we were already in the concert, it was honestly insane! Hearing all the songs that I’ve been listening since I’m a kid but live made me so happy. Seeing Damon Albarn, the vocalist, was surprising since they don’t use to show their faces like I said. Anyway, one of the coolest experiences of my life!
