Aquí en Calgary el máximo de créditos permitidos es 15 por semestre, si bien es cierto que la mayoría de estudiantes coge 9 y en algunos casos 12.
Pues yo tengo 19'5 (¡toma ya!). Dice la coordinadora de los estudiantes internacionales que no sabe qué ha pasado, pues normalmente el sistema no te deja tener más créditos de la cuenta. También he de decir que de esos 19'5, unos 4,5 los cogí por mi cuenta para divertirme: montain bike, fútbol y kayak.
Para mi universidad sólo necesito las asignaturas de Inventory&Warehouse Management, Introduction to Finance y Operations Management.
El resto ( 2 asignaturas) las estoy haciendo porque pueden ser buenas para mi formación. Son Introduction to Public Speaking y Delivery Techniques for Presentation.
¿Qué puedo decir sobre ellas?
Delivery Techniques for Presentation: de las más útiles. El profesor (un crack, por cierto) nos enseña técnicas verbales y no verbales a la hora de hablar en público. Para el próximo día tenemos que leer un texto utilizando las diferentes técnicas que nos ha enseñado. Lo mejor de todo es que a pesar de ser la 4ª asignatura del día, la energía del tío se transmite a todos nosotros. Podemos estar escuchándolo durante 3h sin problema ninguno.
Introduction to Public Speaking: muy divertida. Para el próximo día mi tarea es dar una charla para fascinar (3 minutos).
Pues de las 3 obligatorias (Inventory Warehouse, Finanzas y Operations Management) para mí, que son aburridas.
De fútbol, genial, pues lo que hacemos es jugar 30 minutos y el resto del tiempo lo pasamos entrenando (cada día un grupo distinto organiza una sesión diferente: a mí me tocó organizar un entrenamiento para porteros, así que toda la clase ese día hizo de portero).
De Mountain Bike, que casi todo el tiempo lo pasamos en la bici, y el resto aprendiendo a arreglar cadenas rotas, ruedas, etc.
Sobre Kayak nada, pues el curso comenzará a final de octubre.
