Blog #9: Changes to my Study Programme.

In my point of view and in my self-experience, I think that the actual curriculum is good in terms of demand of time. It is true that workshop take us a lot time and keep us stressed almost every day, but having only other 3 subjects aside is not a huge problem.

At the end of the semester we feel like the world is upon us, all the load of the final exams and the final project in workshop is a big trouble when we try to focus only in one thing. However, I think is ok to have the last two weeks only for workshop and the fearful final project (the other classes would be already finished).

Nevertheless, I think that something is missing in this faculty. Is like ironic that this is the faculty of architecture and the buildings are like a maze, and the spaces between them or the classrooms are not well used. The fact is that we work with tools, sharps and razors, but we don’t even have a nursing place. It’s ridiculous.

In what I do agree is in the use of technology and teaching methods, because teachers let us discover and explore different ways to do the same thing, and at the same time improving our skills, it is like the teachers are only the base and we do the rest.

Because of that, sometimes I feel like I need some support, and when I try to search for help and ask to the teachers, they answer me with the same question so I am more tangled with the problem than I had started.

Therefore, in that cases the only thing that I do is think, stop doing everything that I need to do and stay calm. University is not everything in our lives, we need to take a rest.

In my opinion, the actual curriculum is fine, but sometimes all the courses have to agree so we don’t will be full of tasks, tests and projects at the same time.
