Here you find all those details behind the online
classes; It was a totally new experience, since I
spent it locked up until today due to the
pademic, this represents a 180 degree change in

Environmental engineering
student, studying second year.

here when we won the
first place in the quiz
that was held in
competition with the
other groups.
my group when we held
our first webinar
I always checked if I had
my good vocabularies
with the participation of
the groups. 3

I think I would need to retake
writing and grammar classes to
improve my English language
skills, a couple of years ago I was
in classes on Saturdays at the
university and it was good to start
a basic conversation, I still need
to practice new phrases and learn
new words, You can say that
watching movies, the contents of
the videos on YouTube, listening to
music in English help you to have a
more native vocabulary
of an English speaker.
I can qualify that my attendance if I completed it in the
majority, I was absent about twice and sometimes I forgot to
mark attendance when entering classes, but if I was aware of
all the activities that took place in the semester, and yes I had
the opportunity to participate in class, I did it for my evaluation
and also to help my team, and I can say that we work in a very
good, efficient way and that we are always there to support
each other.

The architecture career catches
my attention because I can
exploit all creativity with art,
and I feel that everything you
see is because man has known
how to modify his environment; I
hope to study it soon.
I like to read selfmotivation
books to
have good ideas and
share t
hem when taking
initiatives on any topic
or project.
I sometimes waste time
doing less important tasks
when I am not
concentrating on
something important and
it is something negative
that I must change.
I like being original and
authentic, it gives you
that power that you have
the ability to create
something and put that
ability in mind to think of
a solution for a challenge.
I am impatient when I
feel frustrated about not
learning something, but I
try to change my
mentality to do things
smoothly and in the best
way.

I was surprised that I spent a
whole year almost locked up
at home and that online
classes have made me
somewhat lazy because I
associate being at home
with being on vacations but
it is not like that I have to
discipline myself more and
complete my studies.
The course fascinated me, it made me
interesting at the same time because I
got to know new words and topics in
English, related to engineering and I liked
the teacher's disposition, it was very
interactive with certain quizzes, projects
and it made the class not boring me.

Did you help your classmates during the semester?
How? If your answer is not why?
Of course, yes, I was always available to help my colleagues, I
made video calls or we chatted to be aware of the work and
to know how they were, there is always communication, even
though each one is at home is the closest we can share across
the screen.
What was the most difficult and the easiest part
about the semester?
I can consider that the most difficult thing is to give subjects with high
mathematical levels because it is totally different when I was in the
classroom, but I will organize myself better and adapt and the easiest thing
was to give other complementary subjects that I like such as english and
calculus, also physical since I conducted experiments at home.
PORTFOLIO REFLEXIONS
When I look at my portfolio I feel: that I was honest with everything that happened to me in the
semester and how good to try to be applied every day that passes. I'm good at finding creative
solutions to any problem, somehow I solve what is presented to me. I would like to be better at
organizing my time and concentrating on a specific task and I am working on it. One thing that
I would do differently next time is to organize myself from day 1 of the semester. I need to pay
special attention to in advanced mathematics, it is very easy to get distracted by the number
of steps. I am very proud because the course of the race for me has not been easy but I am not
complaining, on the contrary I try to learn from each experience and each subject is a challenge
that leads you to continue in the race. I want to know more about how I can relate engineering
topics to architecture since they are topics that appeal to me and are very complementary. I
became more interested in learning subjects such as physics and calculus, complementing
other subjects such as English.

I can search and expand with
more information on the
computer than in books in the
comfort of my home.
I can continue studying while
doing other activities and
then review the class.
There are no daily travel
expenses when you go in
person.
You can tend to
procrastinate and waste
time.
Anxiety when the delivery
time of a job arrives.
You can get distracted at
any time.
Excessive time in front of a
screen.
High load of tasks, perhaps,
partials and weekly jobs.
I can get knowledge taught by
teachers on both sides.
We are separated by rooms.
you have to study and do
homework.

I would like the classes to be with the camera taught, not
only in the partials, but well, we must bear in mind that the
internet coverage and the data is not the same for
everyone and it is understandable, at the moment I found it
strange to do partials with the camera on, but good.
I conclude that I liked the course, I took advantage of it and
I learned a little more of the English language it is very
important today it helps you open doors either at work, I
liked working as a team it was more organized to work on
different platforms all at the same time and we It made it
easier to finish the tasks and assignments, I did not like the
other platform, it took a long time to load but it does have
a good, very complete and didactic material to learn
English while at home.
