[7] Changes that could be made in my study programme

Changes that could be made in my study programme


Topic 1: The curriculum

About the curriculum, I think it is a little bit outdated, for a long time, the students have criticized that there are subject that are a quite irrelevant, or some subjects that are different name, but the same information is taught, (One example for this is “Statistics” and “Pharmaceutical Statistics”) subjects that should be merged or eliminated.


Topic 2: Workload and length of studies

The previous topic is closely related to this one, the length of the studies is the “standard” for a scientific Career (5 years) , but the big problem is the real length of the university course, according to several sources, it is approximately 8 years, which is a long time (Chemistry and Pharmacy Career)

All this happens because of things like annual subjects, repetitive and unnecessary subjects, the deciding which subjects are annual and which are not is a disaster, one of the most difficulty subject in the career are annual, and the worst part of this, the career are very, VERY expensive for the average Chilean.




Topic 3: Faculty facilities

The infrastructure of the faculty in general, is fine, but the faculty lacks more green areas, and, in this case of Covid-19 pandemic, the laboratories have become too small for the number of people in the faculty, and there are not many materials.




Topic 4: Use of technology

I don’t have experience about the use of pc’s in the faculty, but I would like to see the use of technology in the subject, for example, excel in statistic, or some other applications in chemic class.






Topic 5: Teaching Methods

The teaching methods are... standard.

[8] English in the University

  My experience learning English at university My experience learning English at the university it was very good, in my school my English training was the best that time and budget could do (I remember it even had a themed activity called “English day”, in the last year in the secondary school, it was about a circus, and in my classroom at school, the theme of “Freak Show” was selected)   In general, the English subject is a very good form to complement my previous knowledge and, they prepare my better for the university reality.   The use of blogs was quite positive because they allow me to give my personal opinions o show my things, which allow me to feel liberated.     What aspects of your English need to be improved? how do you plan to do this? I find my English level to be “survival”, it it’s enough to survive if one day I appear out of nowhere in the United States for example, but it is insufficient to give a lecture at a university or a jo...
