Blog 5: Changes to my study program

Hi! I hope you are all well.

Today I'm going to talk about some changes that I would do to the study program of my career. First of all, I can say that I'm satisfied with the subjects of the curriculum. I have enjoyed the subjects until now, and even though I am just beginning with the psychology, I consider that the ones in my following years are accurate, it just becomes a little complicated when it's about some administrations. Related to this, I think that after the pandemia the organization between face-to-face and online classes got chaotic. I mean, in some subjects the content is taught with videos and uses the class for questions, other ones do the class with the content as we normally used to do, but with the technology that became active with the quarantine, it started uploading more content that will be impossible to study in a complete and right way (texts, documentaries, videos, complementary information), so it tends to overwhelm. Instead, I believe that the option of making hybrid classes should be used more in our favor, in order to erase the borders that prevent us from attending in person and expand the scope of education.

About that, we can not avoid talking about infrastructure, but unfortunately, I'm terrible at noticing things in that aspect since naturally I don't pay so much attention, so it's difficult for me to formulate ideas on my own about it, but, I read the demands of the past strike and I agree with most of them in this area. Like, as I mentioned, implementing hybrid classrooms with the necessary and adequate requirements. Plus we need more study rooms and places with heating.

With respect to teaching methods, I would like to comment on the fact that in my career most part of teachers are not formed in being teachers, I do not know with certainty, but I could say it because of the way that some lectures are developed. Like less interactive, with less call to learn by immersing yourself, and more like a seminar.

In addition, I think that the amount of material that is given needs more order by taking into consideration the credits, so as not to get a hard workload, because right now you need to be pragmatic and carefully conscious of yourself if you don't want to die trying lol. Sincerely, going deeper, I used to think that was not big deal but since I saw that a large part of my classmates did not sleep or eat well, and that anxiety and stress were something normal, I realized that some aspects are seriously failing. I hope that someday something could be changed.

I would like to finish by saying that I look forward to being more capable of distinguishing the problems and doing assertive actions to solve them in community. Also I want to learn more about the conditions of my career and university.
