Changes to my Study Program

 As I said in the previous posts, I am now studying the last semester of the career. So, at this moment I can say that several things were missing that I would have liked to have been better reinforced. For example, the subject of statistics. I remember when I took it, I only worried about approving it and now I must constantly review it.

On the other hand, the forestry career has a lot of work in the field, which is very much appreciated. But it lacks a more practical part that is best associated with our future work. For example, in the development of management plans or in the work of forest engineers in urban woodlands.

Laboratory work usually teaches and uses latest instrument technology from each area. But in other subjects, such as biometrics, for example, which currently exist apps for smartphones, it is not taught or mentioned. So, in that area, it could be improved. Well, as in most cases, there are teachers who have very efficient teaching methods and others who still use traditional and somewhat boring methods.

Another important thing is that subjects are taught only once a year, which means that if you fail in one subject, you fail the whole year. This causes the duration of the career at the end to be longer. So, in this sense, the most important subjects could be taught every semester and not just once a year.

With respect to the faculty facilities. I remember that in the first years of the career the rooms were very small for so many students, sometimes they did not even reach the chairs for all the students. But over time conditions improved in that sense.
