Hello chic@s!
It has been a while since i posted anything on this blog, i guess it's just that i was flying to the Netherlands for christmas and right before christmas i got this extreme fled of homework and assignments! I think it's always this way but here in Spain, really everything had to be done in the last few weeks.
But, no pasa nada, i succeeded to hand in everything right in time and all the group assignments were submitted and presented before the actual deadlines, i could state that i am proud that i made it this far. I hear you thinking: Why is she proud that she made it all on time? Well, i will explain: like i have said before the organizational skills of most spanish people are less developed than the ones of the Dutch people, for this reason i have worked on assignments the night before we had to hand it in or even the same day! For me this type of planning is absolutely not how i used to work and in the beginning it was hard to understand all this 'chaoticness' but now i found a way to deal with it, such a pity that my study abroad is already coming to an end.
I will explain something about all these assignments. Here in Spain we don't just simply have one final assignment/ exam but you have to do partials/ assignments which contributes to your final mark. It basically depends on the chosen subject but all my subjects contained group assignments which should have been handed in before taking part in the exams. To be completely honest, if you fail for these group assignments you clearly did not participate because the level is not extremely high and it is not as time consuming as the 'projects' we have to do at Hanze.The best part about all these partials is that you are already busy with processing all the study material and this means that at the end you have to study less for the final exam!
It is an absolute win-win situation but it has, like i mentioned, one disadvantage: time consuming. Especially at the end of the semester, Madre mia!
Okay i am going to continue studying for my final exams, next week i will post a blog about the exams, first things first.
BESOS!
