Today we had our first finance class at UPC. There was so much information covered in the class I was OVERWHELMED with unknown concepts that I had to research in google as the class went by. However, the teacher covered many interesting concepts such as economies of scale, opportunity cost, fixed cost and more. I actually think I learned some of this word better since I took the time to research little more to understand them better.
The energy in the class was a little low, this was because there was a lack of participation. Personally I feel I could of put more input and asked more questions in class. For next time I will work on that and I need to participate at least two times next class. The class in general was very informative and complete but maybe the teaching method could have been better, sometimes it was hard to switch from one powerpoint to another because not all the concepts where clear from the first power point. Also there was so much information and jumping around from concept to concept that it was very confusing and distracting at times.
Getting a real world experience of how college will be is very valuable since here we get to experience how our lives will be in two years. Also we realize that sometimes there are classes like this wherever we may go and we need to adjust to this when it happens, we need to be flexible and adjust to the teaching methods and try to take out the best from the class.
