POST 9: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hi! I'm a student of Social Work of the University of Chile. I’m in the second year of the career. The career lasts five years , every time there is les to finish the career!!.

This semester i have these subjects: Epistemology of the social sciences, social Justice and citizenship, social psychology, economy level 1 and statistics level 2. Also by obligation I must take english, i’m level pre-intermediate. This year, my favorite subject has been social psychology, this subject is very interesting and the teacher is very clever <3.

Regard to Workload, there is a loooot of academic load, which as a student has affected me a lot, i suffer from anxiety. About the lenght of studies, the duration of the race I consider ridiculous, we have many subjects that don’t serve us, for example: cfgs. It should also change the evaluation method and teachers should consider that we have many subjects and some are more priority tan the others.

About the teachers and ther teaching methods. I don’t have much to say, I have had very Good teacher but also some bad teacher, not having the degree of pedagogy can’t explain very well. I have had teacher who motivate us to study and learn, but other humiliate us because they don’t know about some topics.

On the infrastructure, the faculty of social sciences is horrible ☹ This year I had classes at FACSO and it’s horrible, the classroms are very small for the number of students we are. The faculty should have a larger library, the classroms should have more technology and obviously larger classroms.
