I really like my career, however I think it could improve some aspects to be even better. Among them, I suggest that the courses directly related to the career such as Ethics and Environmental Legislation, Environmental Management, Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental Economics, among others, be at the beginning of the career. This would be very helpful as it would give us the necessary context to understand our professional objective and how the rest of the courses relate to the career. I also suggest that they do more practical activities to link our theoretical knowledge with experience and thus improve the quality of our learning. For this I recommend incorporating more field trips, more activities in laboratories, or create instances of interaction with older students or graduates of our career or similar careers.
The pandemic context provoked an abrupt virtuality in the classes, which had both benefits and detriments. But I think we can rescue the technological tools as something positive because it allowed us to continue our classes and save travel time. In my case it saved 5 hours of travel time that I used to use just to travel from Paine to La Pintana.
I have always thought that as students we would be much more productive if we focused on one subject at a time. For example, we could spend 2 months completely focused on one subject and after passing it continue with another. Would you like it to be like that?
I think the same about the subjects that you name because there are so important and are on the final years. About instances with older or graduate students, the "Colegio de Ingenieros en Recursos Naturales" (instagram: @cirn_ag) are doing "diálogos" with "recurseres". They made the 2th activity on 10/11/2021.
ReplyDeleteI think it's importent that the university helps with the transport issues so we can spend more time studying and less travelling.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea that you propose, that the courses related to environmental management are at the beginning to give context, also I like your suggestions related to how to organize the courses, if they were better distributed it would be less stressful.
ReplyDeleteIt's really important to link students with the legislations and how they moderates the work of people towards the enviornment, I think that sould be included into Practic 1 programme so new students will have a look at what they can do after they left the University into the laboral work
ReplyDeleteYour suggestion about more practical activities sounds like a great idea! That's an important thing to apply the theory, and it could be a more significant learning. And maybe incorporating not only instance of interaction with other student, but also with the people in the nearest territories!
ReplyDeleteHi Mireya! I fully support the fact that there should be more practical activities, since, it is what will be more useful in our working life when we have to live different situations.
ReplyDeleteI think exactly the same as you about including the topic of ''environment'' withing the study program, its so important
