Self Evaluation of my academic year (2009)

Hello all
Today I’m going to write about my self evaluation of the year, trying to tell you about most of all the things I did this year. First I’m going to tell you all i did on the first semester, on every subject: introduction to sociology, contemporary world’s history, social science’s methodology I, Anthropology and Psychology. Then I’m going to tell you all I did on the second semester: Latin American Social History, Social Science Methodology II, Social Psychology, Statistics I , Social Science’s Philosophy, English 4 and a CFG (Curso de Formación General, that in English means General Formation Course) called Globalization, Copper and New Economy.
The first semester was really great for me, because I was living a new experience, the university. It was hard at the first time to learn the study rhythm so I tried to give my best at the first semester to get good marks. The introduction to sociology was with a teacher called Manuel Canales –I call him “tesito” because he drinks tea all the time. It was really good, I learned a lot from Marx, Weber and Durkheim, all the classics of the sociology. Contemporary world’s history was with a French teacher called Emanuelle Barozet. It was the hardest subject of the semester, but I got a good mark (like a 5.2). Methodology was the worst subject of the semester, and it was really easy. Anthropology was a cool subject and not too hard, I’ve got something like a 6. And Psychology was the more useless subject, because we won’t study it anymore. This semester was great: I had a mark average of 5.8.
The second semester was a lot different, because I had lot of free time. I was one week on Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the Latin American Sociology Congress, then I got one week without classes because of the eleven of September, and then another week because of 18 of September, so I couldn’t take the rhythm of study again. And this semester I was working lots on politic so, I had less time than before. I haven’t finished all the subjects this semester, so I’m going to tell you all I know about them. Latin American Social History was the greatest subject of this semester, I learned lots on it, and I did a monograph about something that I like: the working class in South America. Methodology II was the most boring subject, no one went to all the classes. Social Psychology was a funny subject, and It was really easy and relaxed. Statistics was great too, the teacher I got is really good at teaching, I learned really good all about this subject. The Philosophy subject had a great program, but the teacher was a little bit boring, we learned the things from the subject from our assistant classes. On English 4 I shared with some people of my degree and I learned a few things that I hope will come handy in lots of situations. The CFG was the worst thing ever I’ll learn in my life, the teacher was like a Christian Democrat, that tried to tell you about their political program, and it was really stupid. I don’t know how I’m going to finish this semester, but I guess it will be good, but not as good as the first one.
In conclusion, this year has been a year of lots of learning, with good and bad teachers, with great and borings subjects, activities and stuffs. The first semester I had to learn the study rhythm of the university, and studied lots, and I finished with good marks. On the second semester I had less classes, more activities, more subjects, and it made me work less than the first semester, but it has been a really great one too. I hope the university will be better in future, and that I’ll learn a lot. I guess this the last post of the semester, so see you all!
