Changes I want to make.
Actually, I want to change almost everything about my study programme.
As you might know, in Chile the education is a business for some people, and because of that the people in charge extend the time we need to study with some courses that are completely innecesary for us. So for start, I would eliminate some courses as Comportamiento Humano en la Organización, or fuse others like Epistemologia de las Ciencias Sociales and Metodología de la Investigación en la Administración Publica. Besides, that is one of the reasons why the career is longer than it should be.
Now, about the infrastructure... well, this subject is a very sensitive matter in our school. We don't have enough space for all of the students and we have to lunch in the floor. And even more... next year we will have 200 new students and we don't know where we would put them. We don't have space for classes and the library only has room for like 20 people, so is very unworthy for us having to come to class in a space like this. But is what we have, and between this and nothing... we have to resing ourselfs.
The teaching methods are very old (like 19th centuy). They way they teach is something like... we go to class and the teacher speaks for an hour and a half, we have to read a loooot of things and then in the test, we have to throw up all the knowledge. Is very absurd because we end like a book and we have to learn lots useless stuff and that we won't use ever again.
Anyway, I love what I'm studying so I have to be strong this five years and then... I'm free!

The reality of your faculty is really similar to what happens in my faculty (arts) cause we both have really problematic infrastructure issues that haven´t been solved in a lot of years, and that's really frustrating for us, so i understand really well how you feel
ResponderBorrarI agree with you in every way!
ResponderBorrarI agree with you with the teaching methods, teachers have to modernize.. please!
ResponderBorrarI'm in the same contradiction as you, I feel that I want to change everything in our major but at the same time I like very much what I study haha
ResponderBorrarTrue, next year 200 students join and it seems that our university will be too small :( Good blog!
