Post 8: English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hi everyone! this is my new post :D My experience learning English at university has been regular. I remember that the classes I had in English 2 were very bad, my teacher made us few classes and we only had to send videos, in that year I didn't learn much. Everything changed in English 3, my teacher was very good! In that course I met the blogs and every week we had to publish one, as we do now in English 4. I remember that my teacher made us see interviews of Jimmy Fallon to celebrities and it was very entertaining, I think those in person classes would have been just as entertaining, but I would have learned much more to talk. Currently in this course, I think I have learned a little more, clearly it shows that there is another level where we should know much more. I think that the faculty should promote the English language more from writing to oral exams because what we are learning works, but it is basic. They should teach us techniques that we can use in the presentations of...

Post 7: Changes to my study programe

Imagen
Hi everyone! this is my new post :D In general, the architecture career at the University of Chile has had changes in its program. In 2015 the faculty decided to reduce the working hours and the official years of the career. From my perspective, changing the program has positive things, since students have less academic load, study one semester less and the research seminar is in the same year as the bachelor's degree. When the Covid-19 pandemic began I was in my second year of university and in those semesters, I had to learn about design, calculation, and construction, in general those subjects are important for architecture knowledge and being able to study it online was a bad experience. I think that these subjects can be mixed with online classes but also with mandatory visits to the workshops, because students would learn better. Another th...

Post 6: Time travel to the future

Imagen
Hi  this is my post 6!   If I had the possibility to travel back in time, I would like to travel to the past and be in the time of ancient Greece. Greek history is very interesting, mainly since the birth of classical architecture. I would love to be able to learn about the type of construction that the Greeks used with natural materials and without technologica l interventions, as well as the conformation of Greek cities, since when we were in the classical architecture class, my teacher told us about this period and it was very interesting!  I feel that as an architecture student understanding the beginnings of the constructions in the place would be very useful. I would also like to learn about the history of the Greek peoples, their organization, their culture and their way of life, it' s interesting how even today ideas from th...

Post 5: My future job

Imagen
Hi everyone! this is my new blog :D I   think it' s very hasty to talk about work when I haven't  finished my career yet, I feel that it is difficult to say clearly what I would like to work in but thinking about an ideal situation I would like to work as an architect in  a  public service in some municipality, regional government or in some ministry studying public policies related to housing. I think that the housing policy in Chile is very weak and with the knowledge that the university has given me, I would give all my effort to improve it them working within these governmental organizations. I would like to be able to travel through the regions of Chile, researching, knowing the territory and the needs of people with respect to housing policies. I would also like to be able to travel to other countries to know the experiences ...
