Student expectation
Eduardo Constantino Zenil, who is in the seventh semester of the Chemical Engineering degree at the Faculty of Chemistry, assured that the possibility of enjoying some practical classes in the laboratories is a special opportunity that generates “high expectations because we will finally be able to do things and see in practice how theoretical we did these months. To be able to receive help from the teachers, so that this direct treatment can once again exist ”.
That feeling is shared by his first semester classmate, Yolotzin Guadalupe López –with a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry–, who feels “happiness and fear at the return, because I have never entered a laboratory that way”. It is a totally new experience that the young woman hopes will generate a greater love for her career and lead her to have a better relationship with her teachers.
“Isolating ourselves between people has been a problem, there is no fraternity with my colleagues. I don’t talk to many people, ”he recalled from the last year and a half at a distance in which he attended high school.
“I had to be self-taught because sometimes it was difficult to understand everything in the online mode, there was a lot of pdf or to research the subject on our own. These subjects are very different from when I was in high school, it is a very big leap “, added the student to statements to the UNAM Gazette.
