Study

Hi everyone!

The truth is that it is difficult to think about this topic in a quarantine where we have online classes, because it would clearly change everything in the subjects that I have done online, however I will try to omit that situation.

I think if I could change something it would be the academic load. I consider that many times we are overwhelmed by the amount of tasks and work that we must carry out, generating that many times we leave aside aspects of our lives that are important to us. How can it be sports, organization, etc. And also that if we could have less academic load we would probably have fewer stoppages, and the stoppages would work better, since they would not be taken as rest, which I think is what can currently happen.

On the faculty facilities, I think they lack green areas, which is an element that favors healthier mental health. Since it is depressing to study with so much cement and buildings around, without being able to have a place to make yourself and to be able to relax for a while, especially when we have classes all day.

Regarding teaching methods, I think that the course lacks practical courses, but that in everything else it has greatly facilitated my learning. On the other hand, I would like them to add a branch of personal development, since I consider that bouquets often generate feelings and emotions in us that are difficult to process, so perhaps that would help us much more to get to know ourselves and even to relax.

English course

Hi everyone!

Without a doubt this has been the rarest semester I have had in my academic life haha. I would have much preferred to have face-to-face English, I think it is easier to learn English than through online classes. In fact, comparing it to my last semester, where I had face-to-face English, I think that in this semester I have progressed much less in my learning of English.

I really need to practice more, in order to learn and be able to comunicate better when I speak, becouse I've some troubble with different aspect.

About the aspects that I need to improve I think they are all haha ​​I do not have much vocabulary and I do not pronounce well. I think my ability is to write and read. Pronunciation costs me a lot, even though I listen to music in English and watch series in English, however I don't know how much this has helped me.

I would very much like to learn English to be able to travel and communicate in different countries, but also to have the possibility of studying in countries that do not necessarily speak Spanish.

I usually dont speak much english but I listen to music like Lana del Rey, and others, so I like to understand the lyrics, also I watch friends and other series so I can understand better the language

Sometimes I try to talk to other people in English, like send us audio via WhatsApp, but in general we finish doing it after a while, so I don't practice as much

About quarantines activities.

In this quarantine has felt good. I thought I could feel more lonely than I have ever felt, but it really was a nice time at home. I have been in my city all this time, which makes me happy because I did not really want to return to Santiago.

Regarding the social, I really don't think we will improve as a society. This’s because even in a global pandemic, with situations such as high unemployment without money, there are people who oppose basic issues such as the prohibition of cutting basic supplies for non-payment, the withdrawal of funds from afp, the extension of postnatal , that one realizes that there are people who haven’t humanity or empathy for those who suffer the most

In this quarantine and in this time without class I have rediscovered many activities that I had not had time to do and that I have discovered that I like. For example I have dedicated myself to making dream catchers, I have also seen many history documentaries, because I love history. I have also learned a lot about photography, one of my hobbies.

About the studies, the truth is that as psychology is a lot reading so it is that I have not felt that having online classes is a big problem, however, the fact of not having practical activities I think affects a lot of our professional development.

Finally, I have resigned myself to thinking that the quarantine will last until after September.
