I'm looking forward to improve my skills about speaking and writing.Also, I except to express my ideas without any problem.

Vidal

2022-06-06 18:13:56 UTC

For me the most difficult part is that I will be attending the classes at work, and that I am far from my house, so I am going to spent all day at the office to finish the tasks and homework.

Vidal

Not obtaining a good score at the essay activities. And having problems with the communication as it is an online course.

1. Start to think in English
2. Don't be afraid to participate or make mistakes, we are all here to learn and to be better.
3. Do all your assignments with accuracy.

Vidal

I think the most important thing is to be prepared, i.e. study the subjects before the class starts. Do all the exercises and homework because it will help us to develop or reinforce our skills.

I'm looking forward to improving my writing and communication skills, as well as learning about the academic life in the UK.

Anel Franco

For me, I think the most difficult part will be time management and avoiding burnout, as I will also be splitting my schedule with a part-time job.

Anel Franco

2022-06-06 22:19:39 UTC

Sometimes I'm concerned about being able to keep up with the academic level, particularly so after two years of unplanned online education. Also, a part of me does not really know what kind of tasks or lessons can I expect from the course.

Anel Franco

2022-06-06 22:19:57 UTC

1) Time management is key, especially for those of us who will also have other activities.
2) Confidence in our own skills I think is also very important. Sometimes the feeling of not being good enough can be overwhealming and make us feel like we should quit, but if you are able to ignore those thoughts, you most likely will have a good result.
3) Be receptive to feedback and advice, as it can help us improve our skills a great deal.

Anel Franco

2022-06-06 22:20:12 UTC

Always ask any questions or make any comments you have. Don't hold back out of fear, as we are all here to learn from the experience and grow.

I'm looking forward to learn how to redact with the best academic principles in order to improve my writing skills which is one of the most important tool when doing a research. I would also like to get use to speak in English, so I could avoid understanding difficulties when arriving at the UK.

Kevin Andros

2022-06-07 00:14:27 UTC

I think the most difficult part will be the reading, understanding, writing and debate of the essays because I feel that would be a good preparation of how we will work at the PhD.

Kevin Andros

2022-06-07 00:17:49 UTC

For me it would be the fact that this and the post-graduate study demands the best of us and sometimes I am afraid of not having the necessary level of English or the enough academic knowledge of my career.

Kevin Andros

1. Spend enough time with every single task so you can always deliver the better.
2. Manage your time in order to do your assignments and at the same time take a couple of breaks so you can always have your mind in peace.
3. Help each other during this journey, each of us will be evaluated individually but as hard as it can get, we always can be better with good teamwork and thus we all be able the achieve the goal.

Kevin Andros

2022-06-07 00:26:35 UTC

Feel free to ask for help! We are all here seeking for the same objective so let's give us each other a hand. Also, take advantage of your weekends in order to be prepared for the next week assignments.

I'm looking forward to improving my writing and speaking skills. I hope to learn the British accent because it's kinda difficult for me to understand native speakers from the UK. -Teresa

For me, the most difficult part will be attending the course early in the morning. Also organizing my time because I have to split my day between my scholarly activities and the course.

Teresa

2022-06-07 03:47:52 UTC

Sometimes I feel worried about not organizing my time well because I'm in the final line of the master's degree and consumes a lot of my time.

Iriana

2022-06-07 03:55:59 UTC

My main objective is to lose the fear to express myself in a second language (English), so I can learn more and have more opportunities in the future if I decide to travel and study abroad.

Eduardo

2022-06-07 04:00:11 UTC

I´m looking forward to improving my English skill, in specific, my research about English studies and papers. Also learn how I can better understand readings, songs, talks, and other important sources.

Teresa

2022-06-07 04:00:34 UTC

1. Make a schedule of activities.
2. Don't be afraid of asking when I have questions.
3. Always be positive about the course because it's an honor to have the opportunity of being part of it.

Eduardo

2022-06-07 04:00:39 UTC

For me the most difficult part of the course is the presentation of the topics, and the main reason is because when I speak, I used to forget word and be nervous.

Eduardo

2022-06-07 04:01:03 UTC

Yes, I´m concerned about my English level, and I think if it is the enough to get a good score. Specially, in topics of grammar or accurate use of verbs and adjectives.

Eduardo

2022-06-07 04:01:46 UTC

1.- Practice a lot of speaking,

2.- Working with repetition to get better the new knowledge

3.- Do all task, homework, and extra practices

Iriana

2022-06-07 04:02:02 UTC

Honestly I´m a very anxious person, so I think the most difficult challenge for me will be to build the confidence to express myself with fluency.

Eduardo

2022-06-07 04:02:34 UTC

I think that practicing every day is the most successful way to improve your English skills. And also to learn doesn’t to be boring, we can use tv shows, funny books and comedy movies to improve our skills.

Iriana

2022-06-07 04:05:23 UTC

Maybe when we have to present a work to the class, since I tend to be a little bit shy but I will give my best to overcome my personal obstacles.

Teresa

2022-06-07 04:08:02 UTC

Always think that if we are here it's because we have the capability and not be afraid to make mistakes because we are here to learn.

Iriana

2022-06-07 04:09:25 UTC

1. Be open to a new experience, since it´s the first time I´m taking classes in a different language
2. Not being afraid to ask questions and exteriorize my concerns to my teacher
3. Finish all the tasks and homeworks, giving the best I can to do so

Iriana

2022-06-07 04:20:07 UTC

This advice is for my classmates but also for myself - as everyone is mentioning, I think we should be able to feel free to ask questions and have the confidence to express what we think, so we can learn more and enjoy this opportunity.

Marcial

2022-06-07 09:30:46 UTC

I hope to improve my English skills in general, putting more emphasis on speaking and listening. Also learn to write scientific essays.

Marcial

2022-06-07 09:42:04 UTC

For me the most difficult part of the course will be to clearly express my ideas when speaking in English. Besides that the British accent is difficult to understand sometimes.

Marcial

2022-06-07 09:51:02 UTC

I am concerned that since it is online, I will be able to learn enough to be succeed on the course.

Marcial

2022-06-07 10:06:29 UTC

 

1.- Do all the task of the course, didicating enough time to do the best possible.

2.- Detect my weaknesses and spend a lo fo extra time improving them.

3.- Organize my time correctly to achieve my goals.

Marcial

2022-06-07 10:23:49 UTC
