Changes to my study programme

Hello classmates and teacher! (And anyone who happens to read, hahaha). Ok, today I will to tell you about some changes to my study programme.  

First is necessary clarify that I am journalism student and I am in the last year (the fifth year) of the Universidad de Chile. Although many people think that this university is one of the best from Chile, in the journalism’s career there are many problems in the administration and the curriculum. 

While changes have been made to the curriculum, it has not been enough!!  

If we talk about the subjects that we have to study, I believe that they are very insufficient because we have subjects left over and others very necessary that we have not! For example, courses such as history, economics, media’s history from Chile or Latin America, we don’t have it. About the equipment of the university, is insufficient, there was a time when the demand was great and they were not enough for the students. Therefore, the use of technology is not the best; because this happens at all levels of equipment :(

About the workload and lenght of studies I think that, on the one hand, the workload we have in first and fifh year is very very lightest in fact compared to others years in the same career.

In my opinion the length of studies in Journalism are excessive. Actually our career lasts five years and I think that easily it can last only three or four years at most. I believe that, for the same, the teaching methods don’t work, because all the curriculum It is designed for we have to pay all this time. Today, the universities don’t have the real plans studies, they only think about profit.

In the ICEI from Universidad de Chile not even there are good buildings and infrastructure, only the last year the institute is beginning to improve it this point. Right now we have more classrooms, computers and audiovisual equipment like photo cameras and video cameras,  editing rooms and the radio. 

Anyway, there is much to improve!!
