Changes to my study programme

I study journalism at Universidad de Chile since 2013, now I’m in 4^th grade, and I think that actually there are some changes that could be done to my career..

First of all, to the curriculum, because I think that there are some subjects that we should learn and we don’t. For example, I think that we should have an history signature. Also I think that there are some subjects that are very similar to each other, especially in the first years, that we use to read more than once the same book or article.

About the length of the studies, this career could be shorter. At first years of the career we use to have four or five signatures, and as I say sometimes it used to be very similar to each other, so if we had more signatures at semester we could finish before our career.

Another thing that I think that could be change is about the faculty facilities, I think we have a good infrastructure, but there are some defects, for example the cafeteria, since the last year we don’t have a place where we can eat or buy a launch, and on rainy days it’s difficult to find someplace to be confortable.

Also, sometimes we don’t have enough equipment to lease, and is very difficult to make some works and filming.  Also I think that the equipment is a little bit old and not like it should be. But I think it is ok, it works...

I think the teaching methods are right. I like that we use to make practical exercises instead of a lot of writing and theoretical tests, because in this way we really learn how to do the things. We always have to write news, reports, chronicles, different essays, filming for the audiovisual signature and last year we had the radio experience.

I think a good thing of my career is that we share subjects with the students of Cinema and television, so we learn different things and not only those related to Journalism, but obviously related to communications.
