Do you want to know how an undergraduate degree here in Finland? Me too
Our first experience was with the teachers in our classroom. They said that in undergraduate courses in universities of applied sciences students work with projects. And that teachers work in groups, as times.Confesso that was not enem and being easy to understand how this works. Also confess that between what we see in practice and what we were initially passed by our teachers, there is a distance. It is recorded that here are my impressions for 2 months experience, to me is very little, taking into account: the difficulties of the language (in my case my English .... "From Joel"); my difficulties with my training that is practically zero in pedagogy and more ...
Finally, I will explain more about my impressions of undergraduate courses here in HAMK University of Applied Sciences, which is the University where we are:
Indeed, there is a collective effort so that more and more courses are more project-based and content-less. this does not mean that this is implemented in all undergraduate courses and that all teachers work in groups as teams. Because, let's face it, even when dealing with Finns are a very disciplined, orderly and focused people ... we are "human, too human" and always work as a team is difficult here. Good, so I was curious how this works in practice and left wondering ... Oh my English .....But ... Finally, the opportunity appeared !!!! She always comes! Participated in an event called the "Winther Day". It was an event held by student travel Tourism HAMK- Sohvi Suonpää. Sohvi hosting this event as part of his "Thesis" course completion. I think that may be the correspondent here in TCC- Work Completion of course, some graduate courses in Brazil. The event we attended was a day where we perform various leisure activities that the Finns do here during the winter. Such as skiing, skating and fishing on the frozen lake.
On the same day eat typical food and she also organized a competition between teams. Everything was very organized and fun. Included in the event was transportation, food rent equipment. Who organized it? The student! Who helped? his family and neighbors, to lower costs. It was an amazing experience !. I'll put some pictures here. But the most interesting was the knowledge that everything was part of the work completion for Sohvi. After all she has to submit all a written work and a seminar. Since part of the planning to the execution part and conclusions (she did a questionnaire with the group). I asked Sohvi that passed me a summary of how was your undergraduate degree and she sent me this file which is attached in the end of this post. And she very kind, allowed me to share here. After seeing the material and have talked to her, I come here I see that students are rather encouraged to do practical work. Each student chooses what to do and works for it. We also observed this same "modus operandi" in Evo HAMK University Campus, where the graduate and technical courses focused area of Forestry. There there is a cooperative of students who had as revenue in 2011 6.000 Euros and in the year 2014 60.000 Euros. These students are guided by teachers and develop projects with companies. Good think by now it's just ... after more news will come ... Oh! also could not resist and put here some photos of the Evo campus, which lies between three beautiful lakes!
Remember ... take a look at Sohvi file on the course and everything. Sohvi, Kiitos!

Geo Mushrooms Activity
Mushrooms are part of a fungi. Not all fungi
product mushrooms. When some fungi reproduce they form the mushrooms. Some
species of fungi are used in the production of food, beverages and medicines. Fungi
known as yeast are used in making bread and alcoholic beverages, like beers.
Some mushrooms are employed in cooking and eaten in
many dishes. But there are mushrooms so dangerous, if you eat it…you can died!
In the manufacture of certain types of cheese molds are used which give them a
very characteristic flavor. In 1920, scientists discovered a substance that
could be used in antibiotics, present in a fungus called Penicillium.
Since then, fungi began to be used in the production
of antibiotics and other medicins. In the nature there are also parasitic fungi
that cause diseases in animals and plants, such as rust of coffee and fungal
infections in the skin of animals. Fungi and bacteria are the main decomposers
in nature and play an important role in the recycling of organic, nutrient
balance fundamental nature. Nowadays are known more than 70 thousand species of
fungi, but experts believe that there is worldwide nearly 1.5 million species.
Mushrooms in the history
In the 1800s, the Irish solved the problem of feeding a growing population by planting potatoes. But the fungus Phytophthora infestans, caused a disease who decreased production of potatoes in Ireland. As Ireland was so dependent on the potato, one in eight Irish died of starvation in three years during the Great Irish Famine of 1840. The fact that Europe is at the forefront in the fight against mortality allowed him to increase its population living in the rest of the world. Therefore, in the nineteenth century, part of Europe to other continents a large amount of surplus population, which has made this continent to capture a sharp dwindling population, caused mainly by the growing attraction of North America (whose population doubled between 1830 and 1914), and Latin America.

Based on these informations above. Now we are introduce the teams about what kind of tools will be supporting our actiivity.

In the begining ...
Leave Brazil in midsummer, almost 40 degrees and come to Finland to -8 degrees! Having never been to Europe and a very basic English was an adventure. As in the luggage did not fit any more and I did not bring much, had to travel with his boot for extreme cold. So imagine, right in the airport of Rio de Janeiro with this boot! Difficult? No, an adventure. Arriving at Helsinki airport the night, a damned anxiety. Thankfully, another teacher who is participating in the project Vet- Teachers for the Future, arrived almost with me in Helsinki. Phew! I did not know him, just knew the Gyovanni name. When I saw gave me a relief. We left for the city where we live for 5 months, the beautiful Hämeenlinna

"In the Beginning"
"I have a good mind
take into my head
to start off singing
begin reciting
reeling off a tale of kin
and singing a tale of kind.
The words unfreeze in my mouth
and the phrases are tumbling
upon my tongue they scramble
along my teeth they scatter.
Brother dear, little brother
fair one who grew up with me
Start off now singing with me
begin reciting with me
since we have got together
since we have come from two ways!
We seldom get together
and meet each other
on these poor borders
the luckless lands of the North.
Let's strike hand to hand
fingers into finger-gaps
that we may sing some good things
set some of the best things Roth
for those darling ones to hear
for those with a mind to know
among the youngsters rising
among the people growing-
those words we have got
tales we have kindled from....."
( The Kalevala- Elias Lönnrot)
