Hello teacher and classmates!
I hope you are well and that you are getting through this back to school in the best way possible.
Today I will talk to you about some changes I would make to my study program. I am studying psychology, I am in my fifth semester and I entered through the Bachelor's academic program, so I did not have all the courses of the first year. In the year that I transferred from Bachillerato to psychology, the program of study was modified, so there are some new things, new mandatory courses were added that increase the academic load.
First of all, psychology at the University of Chile has a duration of five years, which is much longer compared to other universities or other countries. This is because the program has "filler" courses, so I would evaluate the real importance of each course and in this way the academic load could be regulated.
Regarding technology: Although in psychology we do not need great technologies, the faculty is very precarious. In the career everything is theoretical (always) and I think we should have experiences close to the laboratories, for example in neuroscience.
Finally, the teaching methods seem fine to me although I am pandemic generation so I could not say for sure. Virtual classes did not have the best teaching methods.
Thank you for visit my blog.
See you in the last blog!
