English!

English is a subject that all has by so many years, since kindergarten I think, and it is different than other subjects because always is here and in the university is not different. In our university in the begin of the year monitors take write a test, this give you a result of what is your English level, divided in four levels (the four is the best), if you get this you can decide if you want take the course of the four level or an interview in the tower 15 and you are ready. I was in the level 3 and the last semester I was in the course and this semester I am coursing English 4.

The blogs began the last semester and until that time I never has do one. I think is a different experience, there you can write based in your own experiences, is not traditional, and for the student it is important and more fun than classes. This semester we keep doing blogs and this is my last one.

Actually I’m using English for the English class and sometimes in occasions related with the career like scientific papers. In the last case is very important because if you understand a word with a different meaning can change everything, and this means a bad grade L. Related to this I think I need to learn more words associated with the dental and scientific world, although some more specific words are very similar in Spanish and English.

I don’t know if I will keep practicing my English, maybe learn more words of papers but speak I think no. Maybe in the future I will want speak better or something like this but for now I’m concentrated in the university.

Our faculty needs changes

Before apply to this university I've seen a lot of curriculums of different universities and the better for me was this I thought everything was going to be a really good experience because I liked the subjects and is a very prestigious university too, but... At these moments I was just an innocent girl :(

Now has passed one year and I can understand, every organization has problems and this faculty has some (or more than some).

The first thing I noticed was the disorganization of the UTES, one teacher say one thing or resolve a problem in a way that other teacher says is incorrect, some days we don't have classes but they don't remember inform this to us (a little detail :/ ), they upload important information ten minutes before test and a lot of more known stories . Another faulty is the excessive academic charge and the impossibility to do semiannual subjects, because if you don't approve one you "lose" all the year. This make you stress excessively and the combination with the almost inexistent consideration of the teachers with us, arguing about at his times was worse, is even worse. An interview what was realized by partners some years ago gave the results we have average one hour a week for social life, really sad number.

Although we have one of the most expensive tariffs (what we can't see reflect at least in our laboratories without air conditioner and enough materials) despite this,  we have to buy our owns materials for the practice and search our own patients ( not yet but I've eared is horrible because is not your fault if the patient don't go and in mayor part of the time you have to pay for the patient too).

As we can see our faculty has a lot of problems to resolve, but has good things too. I'm sure that is the best for me anyway.
