Post 9

This week, the post is about some changes that I could make about the study program of psychology (In Universidad de Chile). But personally is not a topic that I enjoy making, because in these days (the end of the semester), the university is last thing that I want to think, but here we go.

One of things that I definitely change is the lack of practice instance during the 4 years of studding, because when you get to the last year and you need to decide what kind of practice you want to do is so difficult when the only experience in the real world is by means text and what the teachers says. Besides it could help to reduce all the anxiety that this process is generate.

Other thing that would change is related with subject that we need to study, I would remove some of them that just don’t contribute with our formation as a professional, and also be more careful with the optional subject (in the second semester of the third year we don’t have more obligatory subject and for the 3 next semester we have to choose the subject what we want), because there a lot subject that, in my opinion, are totally useless.

In relation with the teaching methods is quit hard to generalize because each teacher and how they evaluate is so different, but, some of them have no idea how to teach or anything related with this, so I would put a minimum, a standard among them to limited the power they have over us.
