As many classmates, I started my life here in the Fau last year and after an entire year of classes and stress I failed workshop. Everything was going relatively fine till all the people that failed a class from the first year of architecture (including me) had to take all their classes.
We just could take our classes from the third semester and the classes that we failed had to wait. At January we had different talks about the new programme and that we had to take because: one “it was better” and two “we just were late one semester and not an entire year” because of the length of the new programme with a semester less.
The only bad thing about signing that paper that makes you change of programme was (in my case) that you could only course in this year the class that you failed and the optative ones. I decided to change my programme and that’s were my nightmare started, I had to drop the classes of the third semester that I had taken and wait till the first day of classes to know what workshop I will have.
I’m really sad about all of this situation that me and the classmates that are in the same situation have going through this year, almost all of us feel stuck, with no motivation and the worst of all is that we’re in the first year again, all of our effort last year was for nothing. I think that the university could manage this situation better, I only feel that they made this to take our money.
So, as I have lived both programmes I could say that the classes are the same but with different names, the teachers (“Gods”) are the same and the information is the same as the way they teach (making you feel dumb and miserable) is the same, and this is my most important critic, I don’t believe in the idea of learning using those methods, Why can’t they be less egomaniacs and think about how we feel?.
About the infrastructure is a really common debate, we don’t have the better one as other faculties of this university and is really a shame of the way it is because we’re the architects lmao.
“I can’t believe that you prefer to sleep that finish the work”- Workshop assistant.
“If you have pending things in another class, forget it. Workshop is the important class” – Workshop teacher.
I started this year so i used to thought that the change could be better but it's really sad the situation of noticed that the programm is the same with different names... Just cheer up to finish the semester!!
