English Language Challenges

English at the University is fundamental for the development of new cognitive skills, and also for greater interaction with other people.

However, I think the classes can be a bit more interactive and entertaining, because in my opinion it reminds me of the school (not that it's the same), where in my case, the only thing I saw was vocabulary and the Verb '' To Be '' for almost a whole semester (and that for 4 consecutive years)... yeah, that was very boring...

On the other hand, I highlight the fact of blogging, because it helps me to be a bit more creative when interacting in English, besides that it usually occurs in few opportunities.
I have learned a lot of Vocabulary and general culture things when reading Blogs from my classmates, and when writing mine.

I think I definitely need to significantly expand my vocabulary, because it is very scarce, in addition to improving my pronunciation in some words, since these are fundamental aspects to be able to carry out a good interaction in English with another person. For this I think that it is good to play and listen to dialogues, to then put them into practice, translate songs and watch series / films to expand the vocabulary (in a defined context).



Outside of classes I don't usually use much English, just to read a small account or read instructions of a game online, but beyond that, I would like it to be more common use.

Changes To My Study Programme

 I think the new study programe (Pharmacy) is very complete, very organized and according to the needs and advances of the sciences.

However, I think that generally, one is constantly studying to be able to approve, not to learn in 100%, there must be a factor that motivates you to do it, to learn and take that into practice, to reality.
Although it is my first year at the University, I do not think I have a very clear vision of it.

The curriculum has a lot of Chemistry (something that is obvious), Biology, Medication Processes, also health system, which is really good, because it gives you many tools to have a great  knowledge in general.                                                     
      
5 years and a half I think it's a good period to be in the University, and learn everything you need to you need from the career, and you future as a professional.

Our Faculty is one of the smallest, and to be honest, it's not very nice to say... It has goods buildings, well equipped, for laboratories, , but the other places are very smalls, and needs a lot of care, like library, ''anexo'' , and we need more places to stay (study rooms for example), and I think that we need to change.


As Faculty, I think we have a good technology, in Labs, and when Professors teach you something, the have use of this, and that makes learn more easier!
