A Subject I've Enjoyed Studying This Semester

-

This semester has been really hard but at the same time very interesting. I have learned a lot and I like many subjects, but the funniest subject and the one I have enjoyed the most was; "Investigación del Entorno" (Environment Research).

In the subject, we focus in the legal regulations about urbanism, things for example: "Plan Regulador" or "Ordenanza General de Urbanismo y Construcciones (OGUC)", they are like the "constitution for an architect". These are important concepts that we will use when we enter the world of work.

But we didn't see the topic in a "boring way", with the teacher we traveled to a building close to FAU and we analyzed it. With questions like: why does the building have that sale price? or does it comply with the regulations? 

I have to mention that all credits go to the teacher, Diego Vallejos is his name. Well, Diego has a special way to teach, a way that works for me and what made me like his classes more than others. He likes the conversation in his classes and he tries to create a discussion between us for some topic. His classes were very varied; one day we saw the news and we talked about it, the next class we discussed a project, the next we walked around the FAU, and this continued throughout the semester.

It was obvious that Diego Vallejos gave it a lot of importance that we could learn the topic and his subject was "easy" to study for this. He made me see the meaning of the subject and what it involves in my future life. I only expect that for the next semester I can be his student again or at least meet a teacher with the same characteristics.

    Teachers like that are always the best, the methodologies about talking, discussing and making field visits are very good for learning :).

    "Investigación del entorno" is a very good subject, I'm not with you, but my teacher make us go out and walk and see with diferent eyes the city, it's a thousand times better go and see in person de places.

    How great that a teacher is so dynamic and has varied ways of approaching a class, surely they are very entertaining

    Hi! Wow, I had "Investigación del Entorno" this semester too, but we didn´t see nothing like that. I had History with Diego Vallejos last semester and I think that is a really good teacher, and have an interesting way to teach.

    Your teacher sounds really dynamic, I think it's one of the most important things a teacher HAVE to teach, that lets the student be more creative and give a broader scope to explore.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

In my opinion the study programme of FAU in the future will change a lot because of the student demand. I only have been studying almost for a year so there isn’t a really trustworthy opinion, at least there are changes that I definitely would change. First, about the curriculum, I would implement a more general curriculum than today’s curriculum because the student performance depends a lot on the teacher who you got. This situation happens many times: you have a bad grade with some teacher but you see that with another teacher you will probably have an excellent grade, and that sound very unfair to me. There are teachers that teach how to use a digital program and they work all the semester with it, but other teachers work in a traditional way, the problem is that for the second year work with a digital program it’s a necessary requirement, a requirement that you must know perfectly. About the teaching methods, I really like how teachers teach us. If I have to disagree in somethi...

My Favourite Photograph

  I really don’t have many pictures. I don’t like  pictures when I’m spending time with someone but I understand there are situations that one has to save for the future. So, after thinking a lot, my favorite photograph is when I went to “El Tabo” for the first time with my classroom. I remember that a teacher took the picture in 2016. The picture actually don’t show a “special moment” because it only shows me and my classmates. But every time I see the photo it makes me nostalgic. The travel was important to me, I think it was the first time I traveled alone (without my parents) and I had the opportunity to meet people who today are my friends. And I had one of the funnier experiences of my life. The travel was for two days, in the first one we had to go to sleep at 11 pm because the next day we had to wake up at 7 am. Well, the thing is that we ended up sleeping at 6 am. There was such a funny friend who kept us awake all night, we didn't stop laughing.  In the second d...
