A subject i'm enjoying this semester

Imagen
  My favorite subject this semester was biostatistics. In class I took notes of the most important aspects of the subject and the formulas that could be used, and in the practical classes I solved the problems that the professor did, using Excel or Infostat. The main contents we saw were several, but some are, inference, analysis of variance, chi-square, ANOVA, T-test, and others. What I liked about this topic was that in order to understand it and to be able to solve the exercises, you had to use computer programs like Excel and Infostat, and I have always liked using programs and things like that, so it was more fun to learn how to use these tools and apply them to the content of the topic. The teacher explained very well, you could tell that he knew a lot about the subject and that he liked to teach it, since he was always willing to solve any doubt we had. And that makes the classes go faster and you can better understand what he explains.

3 animal-related videos

1. I have always been struck by the camouflage mechanisms that some animals possess, among them the octopus, which changes color and texture to camouflage itself and protect itself from its predators, and how it can do so from one moment to another and several times in a short period of time. 2. The carnivores have a very special method of hunting, specifically the big cats, which calls my attention, the way so stealthy and silent in which they approach their prey and then attack it. 3. And this video caused me a lot of curiosity, because of the speed the penguin has when it swims away from the leopard seal, and how in the end it doesn't eat it and then leaves.

MY FAVORITE THING

 My figure collection I don't remember exactly how long I've been collecting them, but I'd say it was between 2009 and 2010. I remember that the first figures I had were of bad quality and I used them to play with my brother, until one Christmas they gave me a big and very good Goku figure, that's when I decided to collect them. In the beginning I used them to play and many times they broke or the paint came off and was damaged, now I don't use them anymore, I have them on a shelf as a collection. I like my collection because it is something that I have been gathering little by little through the years and also the people who are important to me have helped me to increase my collection. Although it is not a very big collection, it is very valuable to me, not because of its economic value but because of its sentimental value and because it is the first collection I started. The truth is that I can't imagine myself without this collection, since that would mea...

My favorite animal

 My favorite animal is a small deer that inhabits the south of our country, the Pudu. The Pudu is the smallest deer in America, its size is 40 centimeters. They tend to be brown, reddish in color and in lesser quantities have been seen white Pudu. This animal is very shy and cautious, usually looking for its food at night, which is based on leaves of maqui and chilco bush. There are two species, the Pudu Mephistophiles that lives in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, and the Pudu Puda, this is the one that lives in Chile from Curicó to Aysen, being more abundant in Chiloé, they also live in Argentina. The Pudu is currently in a vulnerable state due to the indiscriminate hunting of it, also due to the destruction of the forests and the introduction of other species, and partly due to the pumas, which are its predators. I have always liked Pudu, the first time I heard about it and it caught my attention was because of its size and being called the smallest deer in the world, ...

My opinions

 1. What is your opinion about legalization of abortion in the 3 cases? I think it is something necessary and a good start for a future free abortion, since it is each woman's decision what to do with her body and whether she wants to be a mother or not. Having unwanted children will make both parties unhappy. 2. What is your opinion about buying instead of adopting pets? I don't think it's a bad thing, if when you buy it you promise to always take care of it. What I don't like about selling animals is that in the breeders, the animals live in terrible conditions. And by adopting we can help the homeless animals. 3. What is your opinion about having an exotic pet at home? In my opinion, I feel that exotic animals should live in their natural habitat, with their species and not live with humans. Furthermore, by taking these animals out of their habitat, it can generate great alterations to the ecosystems in which they live. 4. What is your opinion about climate change? I...

My presentation

Hi everyone, my name is Sofia Soto, I am 19 years old, I live in Maipu with my parents, my brother and two dogs, Dino and Burbuja. In my free time I like to watch series, talk to my friends, listen to music or play with my dogs. I don't really know how to describe myself, but I would say that I'm a little shy and it's a little difficult to relate to others, but when I'm already close to someone it's totally different.
