How we could develop the education
The university have a huge building and resources that it could be helpful and good for the students, as a student I did not have the orintation to understand how I can use and know about the university, but there is a lot of stuff, what I simile about it, that they don�t put a lot of effort on the trainings to practice what you learn there is a shortage on the capacity of traning it would be amazing if there is a mean things just for traning in the university that it would be helpful, there is a shortage in the profession to give the classes so a lot of time it is your effort to try and understand , a lot of judgments for the different students, if they are not religious or have a different sexuality they being judgmental for that so I had to adapt so I can pass
Reflecting on My Experience in Artificial Intellig
What i liked: The program offers a well-rounded curriculum that covers essential topics, providing a solid foundation in both theoretical concepts and practical applications. The professors are knowledgeable and passionate about AI, often incorporating real-world examples and cutting-edge research into their lectures, which makes the learning experience more engaging and relevant. There’s a strong sense of community among students and faculty. What i didn't like: As I have completed my second year, I’ve found that some of the more advanced AI courses are only available in the later stages of the program. This sometimes makes it challenging to delve deeper into specialized areas of interest earlier on. Occasionally, the pace of the courses can be quite fast, making it difficult to fully absorb and master each topic before moving on to the next. More time for hands-on practice and application of concepts would be beneficial. While the university has good facilities, there could be more access to supplementary learning resources, such as additional online courses or industry partnerships, to further enhance the practical learning experience.
