Hi folks!
This time I'm going to write about the changes I would like
to make to my study programme.
As I told in older post, I'm studying anthropology and this
is my second year, and I'm ending the last semester of the 'Basic Cycle'. My career has a formal
duration of 5 years, but really it takes 7 years to end, including thesis and
practice, very long.

In this Basic Cycle, you study 4 semester with 'general'
subjects and formation, but really of 24 subjects, 2 are related to Physical Anthropology, 4 to
Archaeology, and the rest with Social Anthropology, and I think that is not
fair. So, since the beginning of the career, we have problems because there are
three mention and the basic cycle only prepare for social mention, and I think
this situation must be change.
Then we have to decide what mention we want to specialize. I
like the mention of physical Anthropology and Archaeology, so I hope someday
have the two mention.
In this career you make your own
path and you decide what study, but to have a good job, is necessary make a
many scientific papers, because if you don't publish, you are not a good
anthropologist, and that is sad.
In technology.. ufff... is terrible. The technology is very
old, the most new is a Scanning Electron Microscope (the jewel of the faculty)
but is more useful for student of science, not in Anthropology. The classroom
are not enough big for the student (there are 60 persons is classroom for 30),
laboratories haven't the capacity for student (with 4 persons, is full), when
the weather is hot, we haven't air conditioning, in FACSO there are air vent
but in class you can't ear to the teacher because it has a terrible sound.
These things I would like to change.
In Teaching Methods.. I think it could be better, because we
need more practice class, for example, more fieldwork, more laboratories (to
prepare for Archaeology and Physical Anthropology), and not spend the majority
of the time in lectures. I think with practice we learn more and we can
remember more things.
That is all about my career.
Have a nice weekend
