Blog 8: English course review and self-evaluation

 Hi!

My experience learning English at the university has been very good, I thought the classes might have been a bit boring especially because of the online modality, but I really enjoyed it. 

Last semester I did English 3 and just like in English 4 the teacher was very entertaining and interesting. I also really like being able to interact with classmates from other carees in the faculty and get to know them, even if it's not face-to-face. 

The Zoom classes were fast and dynamic, even though I couldn't attend all of them because the in person classes started and due to my schedule and travel time I couldn't make it, but I could see them and I could listen and continue practicing English.

I find Ucursos a very useful tool, allows the conversation to continue and make it easier to communicate with the teacher and my classmates. Also, the blogs are entertaining and I like to read the blogs of my classmates.


Outside of class, I use English when I listen to music and watch series or movies, because I prefer to watch them in their original language. It is entertaining to realize that you can understand it without subtitles and I also like to notice when there are different accents.


I think I have pretty good comprehension and understand the language, but what I find most difficult is speaking it. I almost always get nervous and forget words, but I think that's just lack of practice and I can do that with my classmates.


That's all! thanks for everything Ronda, have a good end of the year <3

Blog 7: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
hello! I'm in my second year studying Theatre Design and only started having face-to-face classes in the middle of this year, so my experience is a bit unusual. That's why I would change certain things in the study programme according to my experience. For example, I think that classes on digital tools like photoshop should be included in the first year because it is very useful and can be used for many things and aspects of design. The course load is very heavy, the duration of the classes is long and the work we have to do outside of class hours needs a lot of time and dedication to be able to complete them properly. Regarding the years of study, I think it is fine, but perhaps to have less workload, the length of the course could be extended by one year. I am very fond of the Theater Department, where I do my degree, it is a very nice heritage building, but it needs too much maintenance, I am concerned about some electrical connections and that especially in pandemic we have...

Blog 5: A job you would like to have in the future

 Hi everyone, I've always dreamed of working in the audiovisual medium, like in music videos, series or movies designing the visual world of a production, so being an art director would be like a dream.  What I like about working as an art director, is to be able to create and design the visual style that a project requires, to think about the details and what can be communicated through them, the idea of being able to define the color palette, the materialities, the silhouette of the costumes, for the universe of each project, I love it. I think my career develops a very similar work when you have to create a design proposal that covers all areas for a play, working from a concept that unifies the costumes, space and lighting.  Some useful skills for the art director are the ability to work in a team, to be able to communicate ideas effectively, to have diverse references, to know about composition, color theory, materialities, as well as having the ability to solve prob...

Blog 6: Time travel to the future

Imagen
Thinking about the future has always intrigued me, although I think the idea of knowing what is going to happen takes the fun out of life.  Also, I think it's inevitable to think about what will happen with climate change and pollution, all that uncertainty causes me a bit of anxiety and depresses me especially because of the UN announcement that there is no return... But if I could travel to the future, I think I would like to go to the time when travel in the universe is already possible.  I have always been fascinated by the universe, its immensity and how little we know about it. When I see movies about traveling to other planets or galaxies it makes me very curious. If I could travel the universe I would like to go to the Andromeda galaxy because it is the closest. Although it is said that in 4 billion years Andromeda will eat our galaxy, I want to imagine that space travel will be possible before that happens and that the Andromeda galaxy will only be closer.  I wou...
