POST 9

Hi everyone!

Today I will talk about some changes that could be made in my career, Geography. So, I think geography has many challenges. First, I think, geography needs more field visits, because geographers study the environment and human relationship with it, so, it’s very important that they can see the reality and its problems in situ.

About the program of study, I think this is so good but it’s more demanding than the previous program. This is bad and good. It’s bad because the new students aren’t prepared for the high demand level of university. And, it’s good because it’s more complete and tidy with the courses.

About the faculty facilities, the best of FAU for a geographer are the computers. YES! Because we need do many works in the ArcGis (it’s a geography information system), and for this you need a fast computer. Fau has them.

Teaching methods. Mm. we have different kinds of teachers, some very good and others not. Hahaha. But, in general old teachers are very intelligent but sometimes they forget that we are learning, we don’t know everthing, so they need more patience whit us.  SO, I think many people are anxious for a mark, but not for their learning process. I think the most important is to learn, and the education has to go this way. For this, It’s important to have feedback for your work every time you do it, because you need learn about your mistakes. If you never see the mistakes, you can never change and learn.
