Post 5: Changes to my Study Programme

 

Hi friends

Today I will talk about a controversial topic that is about the career that I am studying, which is Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Chile.

The first thing would be to talk about the subjects that are taught during the first years. Being honest, there are subjects focused differently from what they should focus on, an example is the subject of electromagnetism where they pass us electrical circuits that in practice will not help us, it will only be general knowledge for life. Another subject that is poorly distributed is differential and integral calculus, which should be taught as two subjects since there are too many concepts to be in just one.

Regarding the duration of the university degree, I could not say anything about it, since it is a career that requires a lot of knowledge of science and health, for which I feel that it would be demanding to ask for fewer years.

Many will think that because it is the University of Chile it must have the best equipment and infrastructure, which is not the case and I consider it very unfair, since there are other faculties that are very well equipped and I feel that everything should be equal.

Now, regarding the teaching team, it is very varied, there are very good teachers and others who could improve, but in general they all have a high level of knowledge in what they teach. The only thing that could change is that they take emotional skills courses, since there are mistakes in that aspect.
