Changes in my programme
This is my first year in the University, I’m studying Biochemistry.
At this moment, no one knows if we like this study programme until third year.
There is one subject in our first year associated with the program which name
is “Reasoning and Scientific Communication”. And in the second year, we have no
one. In my opinion, this should change now because it’s a lot of wasted time without
doing something related to the program. Other thing that need to change now is
the average of “Introduction to Calculus”. There are friends who passed the
subject only knowing how to use excel, and in “Calculus” they don’t know
nothing. If you know how to do the “Polya Method”, you pass without knowing
maths.
This career lasts 5 and a half years (minimum if you want to
do research in the future) this is excessive if we compare to other countries
like United States or Canada, there only takes 2 years.
Some teachers are obligated to teach in University to do
research, so they don’t have vocation doing that, they don´t want to know your
name, or if you have a problem in your life. Personally I will prefer someone
who studied Pedagogy, because they know the psychology of their students, and
they are professionals in their area.
This faculty can be a lot better, sadly, the teachers say
that there is no money to do research and to build better infrastructure. But
that depends of the government and the University to finance more in this.
"Mechones", the best year of the university :)
ReplyDeletePolya Method saved me a lot in Introduction to calculus, but in some moments I hated it.
ReplyDeleteThere are still many things to improve with our curriculum.
