Academic changes in 2023
There are several things that I would like to change to make the University better,for example I study chemistry and pharmacy at University of Chile and I find that the methodology that some professors use is not very good,especially in Chemistry,which is worse,since that the carer focuses mainly on yhe matter;and I have seen how some teachers only read the PPT and don`t do extra exercises or don´t try to explain in other ways so that everyone can understand,and I have also had to ask a teacher something and the ask several assistans and they answer different things,so when the exam comes I don`t know who to listen to.
Regarding the mattters,I wouldn`t know whether to change something,since as I am just starting out I am taking the "basic" subjects and for now I find that they are all important,perhaps some should be fewer hours of study and fewer hours od class per week but even so I find that all the subjects are important and regarding the duration of the degree,it seems great to me that it lasts five and a half years,since I find that is a good time to learn what is necessary and to be able to do the practice or thesis in the last half year of the career.And although I find that the academic load is tiring,I think that if it decreased,there wouldn`t be very good professionals or tehy wouldn`t be suddiciently prepared.
On the other hand,the infraestructure of our University could improve if they put in more laboratories and use more technology to teach,I think that this way we would advance faster and we could learn better with other methods.I would also putin more tables and ceiling for lunch since sometimes you stay almost all day at University and you need a comfortable and quiet sapce,that`s why I would also put armchairs or something where you can go to sleep since as a student you get very tired and need to rest.
I completely agree that they should change some teaching methodologies, so a lot of us would have the opportunity to understand the class better, nice post!
ResponderBorrarI very much agree, I feel that sometimes classes, seminars and evaluations have nothing to do with each other.
