When we finished classes,we only want to eat and rest. For example,I do big efforts to have a time when I go to the gym,because due to this stupid schedule with lots of test papers one after other one I don't have enough time. I think that it should be different,and I also think that we need to practice,to learn how to work with people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963383087591035215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299933265986040817.post-16378008971914920562014-06-07T13:22:01.958-07:002014-06-07T13:22:01.958-07:00Yes, I have seen the mistake...parties, not partys...Yes, I have seen the mistake...parties, not partys.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252654638073005291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299933265986040817.post-7497624982526586382014-06-05T21:58:18.496-07:002014-06-05T21:58:18.496-07:00Madalina, can you spell again the noun "party...Madalina, can you spell again the noun "party" in the plural?anisoarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737034331148492844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299933265986040817.post-78788824734825289302014-06-05T14:55:38.187-07:002014-06-05T14:55:38.187-07:00We have never seen the equipment

First of all, here in Romanian we study a lot of subjects, especially in the first two years referring to general medicine and just one or two referring to dentistry. In two years practically we are just learning the alphabet of dentistry which is a big waste of time, we don t practice on mannequins like Americans, in two years we never even seen the equipment they are already working with. Also their schedule is much more structured. They have lectures in the morning, a lunch break, and labs in the afternoon. On the other hand we have lectures and labs all day long , sometimes from 8am to 8pm without break and that leads to mental weariness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252654638073005291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299933265986040817.post-56065788493487302872014-06-05T06:04:55.493-07:002014-06-05T06:04:55.493-07:00I agree with you, I think we should be doing more ...I agree with you, I think we should be doing more advanced practical work than so many lectures.

First of all, I would like to highlight (according to my colleagues) that our schedule is more busy, even if sometimes we are wasting a lot of time with two to four our breaks between classes. I think in this short film we are facing a perfect student life. They learn better with modern equipment and more advanced technology and a very important thing is that they have more practical classes then us. Self-study and self-improvement? I agree with Emily, but I consider that besides learning we also should make free time for ourself. We should go out jogging or even a short walk would be healthy for us.<br /><br />Another point is that Antonia said we must learn many useless things. I partly disagree with her, because we will end up being doctors who have a more broad understanding of our organism.Székely Zsuzsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962960926803873707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299933265986040817.post-18880230558501456252014-06-02T13:20:54.532-07:002014-06-02T13:20:54.532-07:00Natalia, we do not say: "less classes" b...Natalia, we do not say: "less classes" but...?anisoarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737034331148492844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299933265986040817.post-74475506094583651812014-06-02T09:07:42.388-07:002014-06-02T09:07:42.388-07:00I can tell that we have less practice that they ha...I can tell that we have less practice that they have at Minnesota.

Mures, you only have time for one meal per day and the only "cardio" we get is when we "run" from lecture to lecture, which can be in different places like UMF, Hospital, Petru Maior and so on.<br />For example, Wednesday: 8-10- lecture<br /> 10-12- pause<br /> 12-14- lp<br /> 14-16- lecture<br /> 16-18- lp<br /> 18-20- lecture<br />After one day like this my only wish is to sleep! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871416935765739513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299933265986040817.post-91346418110968399302014-05-29T14:31:05.038-07:002014-05-29T14:31:05.038-07:00This is going to sound like I'm just pileing o...This is going to sound like I'm just pileing on but it doesn't change the fact that it's true(atleast it has been so far) , there is a much bigger emphasis on theoretical study as opposed to practical works and simulations.

In conclusion, as I see it we have to up to date with developments and try to do much more practice at university.
