Today I want to write about my university studies! I'm studying Archeology, on third grade, and I love it. Everything I've learned is very interesting, and there are a lot of things to learn in the future! I like what I'm studying, but it doesn't mean everything is perfect... Actually there are several problems, and I would like to change different kind of things, to make my career better.
If I could change some things, I would start with the curriculum. My study programme consist on four semesters common plan, and four semesters of specialization. The students can choose between Social Anthropology, Biological Antrhopology or Archeology.
The common plan is great for the people who wants study Social Anthropology, but for people like me who wants to study one of the other options, it's inadequiate, because curses are focused on Social Anthropology contents. If I could, I would change the common plan and I would like to include some contents about Biological Anthropology and Archeology.
I think the length of studies it's OK, but the workload it's another problem, but not as terrible as the curriculum. The workload it's very different between one curse and another, and that makes people use more time studying and working for one curse, setting aside the others, At the end we know more about one subject than other, and I think that is a problem.
How can I be a good professional if I know almost nothing about some subjects?
We have material problems too. A few years ago, university increased the number of students, even doubling it! At first sight this could be something great, because more people can study this career, but it complicates other study conditions. Being too many students is terrible, because we can´t fit in on the classroom, and worse, on the laboratories!!! The university must invest money for building new class spaces, to guarantee everybody's learning.
We don't need a lot of tecnology, but we do need good teachers. I'm on third grade, and until now, I've have good tearches in general. Archeology is an area that need a lot of practical work, and teachers must know what are they talking about and handle all the contents of the subjects.
Well, if you want to know something else about my studies, please write me!
See you! Bye :)
PS: No. We are NOT like Indiana Jones.
