My favorite(?) subject

 

Weeeeell, it's a little complicated to choose a subject as a "favorite" basically because all of them have been very very stressful hahaha, but if we leave that aside, I think the classes I liked the most were of the "Crecimiento y Desarrollo de los árboles" with teacher Magda Orell, she explained everything sooo clearly and was very kind with us. Besides, the practical homework that we had to do were very simple to do and interesting (and in group by the way).

Her subject was about wood, defined as "the fibrous tissue that forms the trunk and branches of trees", she taught us that wood is made for different parts and it is possible to observe them both as macroscopically and microscopically.

For example, in the image they show us is  macroscopically, they are all the things we can see with the naked eye (most of them).

But not all wood is the same, she taught us that although there are many species of trees, it is possible to differentiate wood into only two types, coniferous (like pine, larch, cedar, etc.) or broadleaf (like lenga, oak, elm, etc.). This two are different in many ways, but the main ones are that conifers are "softwood" and their growth rings are visible, while broadleaf are "hardwood" and their growth rings are not visible (at least to the naked eye, we need a microscope for that). All the other differences are the ones that we can see microscopically, with special apparatus and things like that.

So, I don't know, I feel that they were classes that I really enjoyed, I really liked the matter she taught me and it was very interesting, besides, when the teacher is good I think the classes are even better.
