English Learning

The true is that English has never been a serious subject for me, since I learned the basics in first grade in Boston, so I started reading and writing in English and then in Spanish. So I would need to improve in a more technical sense, in the science area for it to really be a challenge. I prefer using everything I can in English language since I find it more poetic and better said than in Spanish, and that is why I keep using it continuously, such as computer, cellphone, series, games, etc. I hate it when people ask me to speak in English from the nothingness, since it is boring and I become uncomfortably conscience, and since no one speaks it I find it unneeded. And as a translator I am incredibly lazy, but when it is needed I do it. I do think blogs are an incredibly comfortable way to learn writing, especially when there is someone to correct and clear ones doubts. And I enjoyed the fact that the teacher enhanced our learning process by making us have a conversation with him, I think it is the best course of action If you wish to learn the language, doing it not only on a test. I do not like filming videos tho, I prefer a live interrogation and expression of Ideas. I normally don't have the ability to make a fluid conversation in Spanish, since I forget a lot in the moment what I was about to say, I end up blank, or I can't find the correct word to express something, or I think the word in English, so the same thing happens to me when I speak in English, and when I write I tend to write backwards some letters of the words, but that is just me. I really liked the Idea of not demanding an English accent or a British way of speaking, since I am more comfortable with the North american way of speaking which is more lax, tho it might be a little harder to follow. And unless they make the English learning process more natural at school, as learning any mother language, getting good results will be a challenge.    

Changes

Today I will talk about the changes I would make to my study programme. A generalized criticism for every career, is that there are Teachers who have no real interest in teaching who should not be included in the plan.

In general, I think Teachers should give the material with proper basic understanding of what they are going to evaluate, to get the right results, and don't expect for the students to guess what is it that they are going to be evaluated. So teachers who have no interest in teaching, and desire for the student to learn by themselves, as they did in ancient times, should not be put in the programmes, and this should be a criteria to be a teaching professional.

Till so far I don't think I would change many things, the load of courses should be maximum 5 at most and that is kept till now. I hate the idea of tests done late in the day, like 6 pm, at that hour after classes, one has reduced energy and process ability. All tests should be put in the morning in the moment of the class, because it extends the study day  to 8 pm in which you aren't at your optimal condition, and considering you may have other evaluations the next day, it is just killing.

A big problem that arises is when a teacher gets too behind schedule in classes, there should be a method to recover those lost hours, or maybe have some one to cover the teacher in case he can't come, or a protected time for extra lessons,  instead of just staying behind. Organization is always required, and to generate a programme which includes the possibility of losing a day or two.

A good thing they fixed in some courses, is that all the tests and evaluations are common for everyone, eliminating the differences in difficulty due to the different way of teaching the teachers have. I think it is a good thing they didn't put anatomy as a course, since it requires only memory, and it can be passed better in physiology, mixing the organ and the function.   

The good thing about the subjects is that each one has its own helpers which are needed, but sometimes their time is loaded with their own classes and they end up not doing assistant ship, this should be regulated some way, there should be true commitment for those who volunteered for this service.
