Course Feedback:
The activity I found the most interesting of the course was doing the academic research because this help us to understand and develope a well research which could be a good skill for the future. It was not easy but I think there was enough support from the professor.
The next interesting activity was making the presentation because this let us understand truly the role of the professor, but I found this harder than the first one and I think there is still a lot of work to do.
The activity with the blog was the one I found the least interesting, but still I learned how to give my opinion through this kind of media and it could be helpful in the future.
Thank you so mucho for everything
