CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

When I entered the university career, it coincided with the change of the curriculum. As I was "mechona" I didn’t consider this, but after entering, I noticed what a curriculum change really meant. This led to a mismatch in many areas, for example, eliminate recuperative tests, higher academic load for new generations, change of regulations, etc.

With my partners we began to notice the great difference between the new curriculum and old curriculum, today I am studying eight subjects !!! On the other hand, if I had entered a year earlier I would be studying only 5 subjects in a common semester, like the normal one of the students.

In my opinion, it was not a good change, because the work load of the students was increased excessively, which only generates stress and low quality of life.

As for teaching, I must say that I consider that in the university there are very good teachers, each one with different methods manage to explain their subject very well. But there are also teachers who should not be in charge of teaching as such, because they don’t handle the topics well and therefore they are not capable of teaching, or even if they manage the subjects but do not have the capacity to teach the subject to the students.

This leads to a discrepancy between technology and teaching methods, because having use of projectors, computers, etc. the quality of teaching can decrease or increase, because many times the PPT is not used as a tool, is like a book where the teacher is only responsible for reading textually what he says there, which becomes tedious and leads to that students stop attending classes because finally reading the PPT at home will be the same.

Finally, but not least, it’s sad that our faculty doesn’t have enough covered places, leading to a rainy day students must resort to lunch in the library and places not suitable for this.
