POST 7: Changes to my Study Program

The arduous learning at university is something that will accompany me throughout my life, but I have the impression that I still have many things to know that are necessary and that I have to contribute during my career. 

In the first place, I believe that the study program should contemplate an integral development of the excursions, beyond the reduced summer practices, that is, a preparation focused on the daily life of work, in terms of the contact of the students with their companions and its environment, involving an interaction where students develop horizontally, allowing to improve the knowledge of both students and the forest community in general. 

   

On the other hand, a large number of subjects deals with knowledge that comes from the observation of nature, so I feel that many theoretical subjects could be exchanged for a greater number of instances of practical experiences. 

   

Another element to consider is that the time in the university is loaded with evaluations, and after so many works and tests developed under pressure, that people end up tired, without wanting to delve into the subjects, being able to show the contradiction of promoting learning and generate tension, which reduces the very possibility of learning. In this sense, changes could be made in the evaluation methods, mainly by changing the logic of imposing learning according to the established speeds, by new methods that include the evaluation of the correct and innovative use of information, and that encourage self learning, and the integration of curricular activities.

POST 6: Time Travel to the Future

If it were true to make a time travel to the future, I would let myself go where human force was able to restore all the lost environment, and where humanity is deeply aware of its actions on the world.

I suppose that such a future would make me feel happy, because I could contemplate a society that guarantees a clean and safe atmosphere, and where all forms of natural life have a place within the world.


Although that lifestyle requires time, that is, it is possible in the long term, because it is necessary to fight for many paradigm shifts, which gives me hope for such a future, at least, for a century frome here.

But I wouldn't think of to get trapped in that possible future, because in our uncertain present, it's where the effort is required to work towards a desired and necessary future.
