last period I have some 'neglected the blog, unfortunately, but for good reason. The University shall
setting a bit 'fatigue, a little' due to the fact that they are a little 'rusty' a bit 'because of my laziness and partly because of education " modern "(in quotes because maybe there are more than 10 years, and I sadly left behind) that are not always immediate to understand, thanks to the imperfect knowledge of the language. I will try
better to explain all three points.
I am a bit 'rusty in the sense that for almost 15 years I do not study anything more, excluding their German courses. I understand why some things I do some 'hard work is to understand that to remember them. Fortunately for the moment I am following classes are not too difficult (and introduction to computer programming), we will see later.
Laziness, does not need an explanation: Univer quite happy to go there, it's a nice atmosphere and the things that I have explained quite interesting, but it is clear that there is a difference between making the student full time, and having it work more than 40 hours per week to stay. In any case, the problem is not so much class, but homework, aspect of the school in general that I have always detested. In junior high and high school, have a certain degree of optionality (school of thought which some of my dear friends are historical interpreters, marked by extremism), do well enough questions and tasks in the classroom, and that you were right. Here the faculty of computer science are in some sense obligatory, which belongs to the third point: education systems "modern".
courses here at the University are divided mainly into two categories: lessons and practice.
classes work like us: you sign up, no obligation frequency, and you do the exam.
deepen practical courses and in fact are put into practice the topics covered in the lessons. In this case, though it is not a lecture hall with 300 seats, more than half full, but by groups of 20-30 people, organized as a class of high school. Each week is assigned exercises to do at home, and the next time, at the request of the teacher, you have to leave to submit solutions. It works through Moodle, which is a portal of e-learning site that is the link to download the texts and carefully load the solutions so that the teacher can control. From here remain "optional" as in high school, except that the percentuale dei compiti svolti andrà a contribuire al punteggio finale dell'esame. Inoltre, una percentuale troppo bassa preclude l'accesso all'esame stesso. Per ogni esercizio svolto, bisogna mettere una crocetta sul proprio profilo contenuto nel sito dell'Università. Una volta messa, significa che si è risolto l'esercizio, e si è disposti ad uscire a presentarlo alla prossima lezione. Si potrebbe anche prendere in considerazione di bluffare, ma purtroppo se una presentazione non va a buon fine, vengono considerati nulli TUTTI gli esercizi svolti per quella settimana, anche se sono fatti perfettamente, quindi non conviene più di tanto. Il tutto non mi rende tanto entusiasta, ma ammetto che è un'idea geniale, e mi scuso se per qualcuno non è chiaro il funzionamento.
Un'altra cosa che mi ha impressionato, è la vastità e la qualità del materiale online che l'Università mette a disposizione. Il top, a mio avviso, è la possibilità di rivedersi tutte le lezioni di alcuni corsi con tanto di audio e video, corredati dalla stessa presentazione Powerpoint utilizzata dal professore in aula ( le presentazioni si possono scaricare per tutte le lezioni ).
Forse, come già scritto, queste cose esistono da anni, ma per me sono una novità.
Il tutto, purtroppo, mi ha un po' rallentato per quanto riguarda la ricerca del nuovo appartamento. Do un'occhiata agli annunci ogni giorno, ma è long since I've been to see someone, especially because I find very few ads recently convincing. The last call I made, about two weeks ago, was to ask for more details about an apartment that was described in the listing an approximate but it looked interesting from different points of view. I was a little 'confused when the lady told me (and I'm 100% sure that you understand, because I have twice asked for confirmation) that the apartment in question was a studio 62mq! That is to say a big room of 8 feet by 8. It is not what I'm looking for, unfortunately.
For the rest there are no big news: because of shifts altered to attend the University, are no longer able to go play volleyball, and because of that laziness and other factors, I gave up some interesting events that would have been like the first Uni-Party of the year, the Cocktail Tour the center and the Honky Tonk Festival, also in town.
