This term, first semester of fourth year of Social Anthropology, i dont have subjects very goods or very interesting than the last years, but I have some subjects in which I have learned a lot. One of them is Quantitative Methods II, with the teacher Jaime Fierro.
This topic, the quantitative methodology, can be very bored sometimes, but when knows its utility
to understand the complex of social reality my opinion changed completely.
With a statistical analysis using a software like SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), we can understand the relations of a lot of variables in a big population using a series of analysis techniques that has learnt in the subject, like Factor analysis for find underlying structures in a pattern of correlations, or Multiple linear regression for find relations between a lot of independent variables and only one dependent variable.
This subject can be interesting, but if not for the teacher Jaime Fierro, a prominent Sociologist, this subject would be very bored.
what's up little pitbull, thats a nice subject, we really learn a lot of useless stuff. And also was funny, like when we try to use zodiac signs to predict poorness approval.
ReplyDeletebye.
Javier,
ReplyDeleteProbably the subjects in your first year weren’t that boring, and it was just that you weren’t as mature as you are now.
Have a look at your corrected post, please.
(subjects very goods): (a) The word order is: very good subjects (b) Adjectives never change, so don’t add ‘s’. Ex. A green hat, a green shirt, some green books, many green chairs.
c) Compare boring’ and ‘bored’: If a movie is boring, you get bored / If a book is fascinating, you get fascinated/ etc.
My favorite subject
This term, first semester of MY fourth year of Social Anthropology, I dont have very good or very interesting subjects AS IN the PREVIOUS years, but I have some subjects in which I have learned a lot. One of them is Quantitative Methods II, with the teacher Jaime Fierro.
This topic, the quantitative methodology, can be very borING sometimes, but when I REALIZED HOW USEFUL IT IS, FOR EXAMPLE, to understand the complexITIES of social reality, my opinion changed completely.

This subject can be interesting, but if IT WEREN’T for the teacher Jaime Fierro, a prominent Sociologist, this subject would be very boRING.
