Blog post 5: Changes to my study programme

Hello everyone, well, today I'm going to tallk about if I would chnage something in my study programme.

I study Social Work at the University of Chile. The programme of this university, aims that students can understan and apply fundamentals of social sciences, as basis skills for research and social intervention. These tools allow them to perform critial and complex analysis of social, relity, implement effective and innovativ social interventios that address the most important social challenges of the country.

With the above, i want to say that I feel that the stidy programme does provide all these qualities, since I have theoriticas subjects on research and social intervention, as well as basis subjects to understand teh social reality. However, I think it is necessary to implemennt more practical subjects, although theory is important, practie is also important.

This is my curricular mesh

About the facilities of the faculty, the Social Work department is smaller thant the other majors on the faculty. Also, for a class in wich we have to use a computer program, the rooms are not big enough to fit the whole class, but I think its more a problem of space redistribution.

Finally, about the workload and the duration of the studies, I think tahat sometimes there is of academis load depending of the teachers, as there are many texts and pages to read in a single course. However, I think that five years of stufyy are good to have more knowledge and experience.
