Section 12 of English Practice II finished semester.

Published: March 23rd 2010


This beautiful and wanted morning was the Practice II final day. All the section 12 students had a sharing breakfast to finish the semester with gold brooch. Everybody in the classroom brought something to eat or drink. Orange juice, sandwiches, tequeños, cake, jelly, quesillo and peanut, these are some of the things that were part of our delicious menu. They had a wonderful moment remembering the good things that happened througthout the semester. Sadly, Professor Evelin Ojeda, the head professor of the group, couldn't come to the activity so the students missed her a lot. Some of the students, and most of them said that they are really satisfied. They had learned lots of new things that will help them to improve in their careers and lives
During the second term, professor Evelin was replaced by the teacher Adelina Dos Santos, who was being evaluated while she was teaching the students by professor Evelin. At first, the students felt uncomfortable, but then, students felt really confident during the class. At the end, all of the students knew that they had passed English Practice II and had a nice time.
The students made someting clear: "We had one of the best professor ever... Evelin Ojeda. She was a wonderful person, teaching us everything she knows about our common thing, English."
For that reason this article is dedicated to her. Best wishes to you and thank you so much for everything.

Food of the UC : Limited Choices

By: EVALIZ CARRASCO
Published: March 22nd 2010

As everybody knows, we need to mix all kind of food in our plates. But the hurried life of students and their quantities of money don't help them with that topic. Students tend to be hurry everyday between one class to another, so the healthy food is not their first choice because cook it it's a work that last a little more time and its cost is higher. On the other hand, they can have lunch at the dining hall which serves healthy food for free, but the long queues and schedule is not propitious for all students. To "solve" that problem they buy junk food, which is almost the same in all kiosks in FACE, FACES, an Law School of the University of Carabobo. Fried food is the favorite of students, it's cheaper and fast to serve. Their second choice is the fast food (Hamburguers, hot-dogs, pizza) that is a little bit more nutritious than fried food, but it also has a lot of calories; and other food served in those places is the cachapa which is delicious but eating cachapas everyday is not a good idea.
If you look for another things to have checking over all kiosks you'll find the same fast and fried food. So we advice our readers to carry home food to the university at least two days a week or having lunch at the dining hall more often.

Let´s start from the UC

Nowadays, everybody knows our big problem with the pollution. Actually, I think we are the real problem because we are the ones who don´t think in our world, our almost died world. But, there is a good notice for all the people who want the earth to improve, environmentally speaking. We have the solution on our hands, so I invite you, all the UC students, not to contaminate the place where we spend weeks and weeks trying to be better people.
My grandparents used to say “the education starts from home”, and this is a big truth, I learned that, but sadly, not everybody met my grandparents. Our faculty, I think, should be the perfect one from the UC because we are being trained to teach people, children, teenagers and adults. Have you ever heard about “the future of our country”? Well, if yes, you know that we will teach them and how can we say anybody not to do something if we are the first ones doing it?
We are not careful with our university, which is one of the most important in Venezuela. For that reason we have to change, everything is on your hands. The pollution will bring more problems to the faculty, the university, the state, the country and the world. In some cases, the problem is not politics or the government but the people.
Dirty walls, dirty floors, dirty classrooms, dirty bathrooms, is synonymous with FaCE. It´s important to keep in mind all this things to start improving. I don´t want a dirty faculty, and you?
But, let´s start from the UC:
· Making information boards with all the pollution preventions
· Recycling all types of materials
· Throwing the garbage in its place
· Using the classroom baskets
· Talking to your friend about the problem and the solutions
And the most important thing is look what we have.
Remember, everything depends on us.
Have a Good Day

Was the UC humanized?


By: EVALIZ CARRASCO
Published: March 21st 2010


A few weeks ago, the project "Humanization of the Faculty" was executed. That project was deviced by students on their last semester at the university, and classroms' walls were painted with loads of moral thinking on them. However not only classrooms were painted, they also painted their floors and some desks. It could happen by the unwiligness, lazyness, or only protocol compliance doing a project. On the other hand, students haven't collaborated with the appearance of classrooms, the already made a mess of the walls, and we can see shoe prints on places where it's impossible put feet without the purpose. In one case on the third floor the words "Engineering is the best" (in Spanish) were written. So, is it possible humanize the whole university?

Bárbula, Carabobo. - On Thursday and Friday were carried out presentations of the various subjects that are part of the Culture Module II in the Faculty of Education at University of Carabobo. Among the different branches of this module we could find photography, film, dance, modern dance, body expression as well as choral singing, flute and Cuatro.

Sections of Creative Photography and Cinematography presented this Thursday the pictures and mock-ups at the Central Square of the Faculty of Education.

During the morning, people were able to see the different mock-ups that represented scenes from famous movies at the Central Square. Mock-ups simulating scenes from "My sister's keeper", "Invictus", Seven Pounds", The Children of Huang Shi" and so many other movies could be seen. Although Avatar was one of the most outstanding, there was a large doll of the main characters from this amazing movie, the Omaticayas, and this was the spotlight of this presentation.
On the other hand, there were very creative pictures that were sticked in the wall just in front of the mock-ups; some of them were taken from the art structures around the Faculty of Education, while others were from people in different poses or any object with an interesting angle.

Flute, Cuatro, Choral Singing, Ballroom Dancing, Modern Dance and Body Expression were presented on Friday.

On Friday afternoon, everything was prepared to begin with the presentations of the students of Flute and Cuatro, who played several songs using just the instruments mentioned before of course. One of the most popular songs they played was "My heart will go on" by Celine Dion from the movie Titanic, a classic that can never be forgotten. Right after this, a small group of students from Choral Singing started to sing well coordinated by a music professor. They closed their performance by singing a song that the public liked and certainly enjoyed when the choral sang it; it was “In the Jungle” from the disney movie The King Lion.
After music presentations, people had to move from the Central Square to a place in front of the Students Center. At about 2:30, Modern Dance began to perform a mix of Tango-Flamenco dance, the choreography was made by Sonia Fajardo and this was one of the most outstanding performances of dancing. After this great dancing, Body Expression presented a play whose name was “The Toy Store”, this was a voiceless and funny play which, in general, was about people buying toys, which were actually students with costumes on them. Among the different presentations that followed “The Toy Store” were a mix of Tango-Mambo dancing, a dance of Cha Cha Cha, whose choreographies were made by Angeline Maldonado, the same choreographer of the classic “Grease”, performed by the students from the section 15 of Ballroom Dancing, this was a great performance as well; to finish with the presentations, a couple of Modern Dance presentations were performed.
Thus, Module Culture II presentations were completed in an organized and successful way. It should be noted the good work of the professors because of the fantastic coordination, shown in each one of the performances.
