Hi everyone! Today post is about the things that I would like to change to my study program. I'm studying Geography since 2013, and in spite of I love my career there's many small and big details that I'd change.
For example our University -and in particular our school (Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, i.e, Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism)- has serious infrastructure problems. There's no workspace for Design students to make their works, so they occupy common places like halls and corridors with materials and tools (dangerous tools! like electric saws and drills), making noise and generating a lot of garbage. There’s no enough parking slots, so the cars parks in our school yard. The classrooms are not designed to be used as classrooms! this building once was a market and a military enclosure for horses (cavalry).
In Geography we always go on field trips, they're a very important part of the applied studies but the money that school provides it is never enough, only covers what is necessary for food but no for housing so we have to put our own money.
About the courses, there are good and bad things. The good things are the professors, almost all of them are expert in their areas with Phd and very committed with our learning. But for the other side some courses are obsolete in this days when the use of information technologies (IT) are fundamental. However for the new generations there is a new curriculum with more applied knowledge and field work.
I hope someday our school works efficiently and use the resources for the good of all the community and not in bureaucracy of a public university, considering the entire chilean education system.
