Changes to my study programme
![]() |
Social Science Faculty, University of Chile. |
As you know I study social work. On my career we study a lot of social sciences areas, for example we have some courses of economy (I and II), legal regulations, sociological theory (I y II), anthropology, psychology, philosophy, ethics, statistics and history. Also, we must study different social topics like: public policy, social intervention, planification, social movements, sustainability and social impact, epistemology, etc. As you can note my career is a very interesting and diverse field, that is one of the things I like the most about it, because all these subjects are fun to me.
This career last 4 year, after that you get your academic grade. But the program includes a 5° year in which you must do a diplomat or a magister. About the workload it's increase along the years as all the careers I think. The most part is about to read a lot of texts; the other part is about to write articles and reports. Also, we must make some presentations. Even so I think the worst part of the academic organization is the semester closure. On that time, we have a lot of work collapsed in a few weeks, I think that is a very bad time distribution.
Some changes that I would like to make on my study programmed are related to include more technology use, a strong inoculation between the technology and public policies or social interventions for example. I think there is a great field to explore to social science, and it can help us to improve the live conditions of people through this. To me this is a signal of a gap or lag in focus of our study programs.
About faculty infrastructure, I dream about the day we have a library that is open 24 hrs. on exams period, or less with couch and comfortable chairs and study rooms where we can talk without bothering others.
ResponderBorraryes, the distribution of evaluations is very badly done!
