So here is the last post involving the "Communication Skill" subject. So I'm going to give my opinion about this.
Basically, a very lost potential. It started okay with a lot of activities to do with huge variety and learning something that people from a science career never learn too well. I was excited about how this subject was going to be, but before the first month passed, my intereset was completely lost.
In the first classes, we had debates and parcipitaded in several videos we see in class and I really liked it, but that was left to do the same thing over and over, so overall, it went really boring. The formula of the subject was: The secretary reviews his blog/activities/wikia, approve last's minute and then go to his chair. Over and over again.
Also, that's my least favourite thing about this: The secretary. I just don't get it. Why a classmate must stand infront of everyone telling stuff that the teacher is not only more capable to handle? The teacher must be the one bringing the blog, wikia and activity and review it, otherwise nobody will every pay attention. This ends with a complete mess with the classmates not knowing everything we have to do and then most of the activities are wrong. Every single student need feedback on their individual activities, not some general tips that you may already have right, because that's what professors are for, correcting all your work on their subjects.
The blog and the wikia are actually a unique way of developing extra work without tending to be linear with the activities. Maybe the one I liked more was the blog instead of the wikia, just that's because I already had to do posts in the Calculus subject.
As for the activities, they are all acceptable and you learn a lot from them. But again, the same problem as before, if you have no personal feedback, you won't be learning anything. Okay, yes, there are a lot of students and a lot of activities and the teacher is not only teaching this specific subject. Not only students have to study other subjects and also so other activities and projects but also, the whole activities have, in general, some procedures of making them, so it's easy to find little mistakes, and those little mistakes are, for example, the lenght of the introduction or the conclusion, how to redact a document as if you were the teacher, etc.
What I'm trying to say is that this is not the way to handle such a subject. In my opinion, it needs more participation but not with the secretary mechanic, like more debates or conferences, because with that, the subject can be way more entertained.
