Changes to my study program (Post 7)

 

Hi!

The career is public administration, it lasts 5 years approximately. Although the university provides a good education to the students, I think it could be improved. Although I have only been studying for two years, I would mainly change that the professors who teach subjects should really be professors and not just academics in their areas. I say this because there are some who don’t explain the contents well and it isn’t so easy to understand for everyone equally. In fact, the teaching methods have to do with that, now in pandemic, it’s an online teaching that makes learning difficult.

About the curriculum, this semester I studied 6 subjects, the most interesting one was "Public administration and political phenomena". That subject mainly teaches the relationship between politicians and bureaucracy, it also analyzes some academic theories and relates bureaucracy to that. For me it was the best subject of the year. The other subjects are: Human Behavior, Statistics, Organizational Design, Qualitative Methods for Research, and English. Even though there’re few subjects compared to other careers, the workload is still heavy, in my opinion it takes too much time to do the reports, controls or tests.

On the other hand, about the infrastructure of the university, I only visited the university once, and it was a building with rooms inside. About the technology, there were computers and a room for virtual and face-to-face classes. I found it quite nice, and I would like to come back in person in the future.

    I would also like to change some of the professors that are in the career, because many times they only read and don't explain the subject; but I still rescue many professors who have been great professionals and great people.

    I agree with you, a career in public administration requires a lot of workload.

    Unfortunately academics not only don´t know how to teach but also don´t know how to evaluate impartially

    I agree that we have fewer courses compared to other careers, but for us the academic load can be worse because we work a lot in teams and everything requires a lot of analysis:(

English Language Challenges (Post 8)

Hi! English seems to me a good subject, although I didn’t attend the synchronous classes (because I made a mistake in choosing a timetable) I watched the recorded classes and I understand its importance. In the same way, I think it’s important in the university because of the English texts that we have to read. Also, writing blogs help in fact, to have a better writing and understanding of what you read. About my English, I think I need to improve my pronunciation, it’s easy for me to read and understand it, but to formulate the sentences in my head and then say it, it’s very difficult. To improve this aspect, I should listen more to the correct pronunciation of people who have English as their main language. As I said before, I use English when the university texts aren’t in Spanish obviously, but I also use it a lot outside that context. For example, I like to watch movies in English and not dubbed, sometimes I lose focus and start doing other things, but I still listen to the mo...

Time travel to the future (Post 6)

  Hello everyone! I see the future as they show it in the movies, with robots dominating the world, with an alien invasion or with a planet destroyed by climate change. Maybe I'm exaggerating but in many more years I don't see it as impossible (especially destruction by climate change). Obviously I wouldn't want to travel to those futures, but if I had to, I think I would like to travel to a future like the one in the film Wall-e (a Disney sci-fi movie). I imagine that future many centuries from now, it’s a scenario where there’re few humans left but a small hope of living on planet earth continues after finding a small plant. I would like to travel to that future to see what the planet would be like if no real measures were taken to fight climate change, if it would be so terrible or if it would be a habitable planet. Although I doubt it would be habitable, it makes me curious to see the things of today in the future. As for staying or not in that future, the truth...
