Post 8: Changes to my study programme

Hi everyone!

Today I have to write about some changes that could be made to the psychology study programme of  University of Chile.

First of all, I like the basic period formed by two years in which we see the field of social sciencies in general and the basic topics of psychology. Despite this, I think that the subjects of social sciencias should be more relevant for psychology. For example, in "Sociology" the last year we saw the most important theories of general sociology, but maybe, instead of that, we should have seen sociological theories related to psychology. As an example, the relation between psychology and sociology, and how the disciplines are mixed sometimes.

Related to the workload, my opinion is that we have the enough workload. As we are in University of Chile, we must acquire the neccesary knowledge to be the best professionals later. Despite this, I think the fourth semester is very dense. Maybe a solution is distribute the workload of that semester to other semesters with least workload, as second semester.

The infrastructure in the faculty is good, but there's a problem with the availability of computers. in psychology, we have "Statistics". In order to learn the statistical procedures, we need to have more computers with the program of analysis of data that we use in the subject. Nowadays, the faculty have only twenty some computers with the program. University should buy more licenses of the program.

Last but no least, I think that the green areas of the campus have been decreasing in the last years and it's very sad for new students.

That's all. Thank you for reading me!
