Changes to my study programme

I have been studying biochemistry for four years and I changed from the old curriculum to the innovated one. This is why I do not feel there is a need to change many subjects ... most of the changes made were good. However, something that I would like to change would be the type of CFG's, I think there should be more variety, better schedules and that they were not so demanding ... the academic load is enough already.

Another important point is the duration of the career, which is designed for eleven semesters. In many countries professional careers last around eight semesters ... perhaps if some theoretical subjects were removed from the academic curriculum and more practical learning was prioritized, the career would be shorter, and you could decide to continue studying a specialty focused on the area in which you really think about working in the future.

Regarding the infrastructure of the faculty, I think there is something much needed ... a library large enough for the number of students in the faculty, more study rooms and a cafeteria where you can eat something decent. Another important part would be to improve the technological equipment of the laboratories for more modern and sophisticated ones.

Finally, I believe that the problem that all students of the Faculty of Chemical Sciences have is the lack of time. The rhythm of a student here is very stressful, and we need to design strategies that help us optimize our time. It would be good for more teachers to use online tools of the u-cursos or other platform to evaluate the knowledge learned by the students. It would also be good to change the classic teaching model where a teacher transmits all knowledge to his students reading a PowerPoint presentation that we could perfectly read on our own in the comfort of our homes.
