Changes To My Study Programme

When I entered the university I had a mental image of the Medical School of the University of Chile, because I did a pre-university in that place and I loved it. Very spacious, full of classrooms and large spaces, green areas. What is expected to be a faculty. But it is a different reality in our faculty. Beginning because it is not prepared to receive even 40% of the students enrolled annually. Imagine that one day be 100%. Horrible.

The problem with the curriculum of my career, and apparently of the 4 careers present in the faculty, is that we do not have subjects from the beginning about our career until the third year, which demotivates a lot at first.

In my case, the two introductory subjects to the carreer were based on listening to the anecdotes of the year 1800 of the head of career and make reports on a topic x. If it were not for the Food Engineering Students' Center, we would not have had a visit to Carozzi so we could see exactly what a food engineer is doing.

Classrooms are poorly distributed and sometimes there is overcrowding in classes due to lack of space. Although sometimes we are 6 students in a room for 60 people, what kind of criteria is that?
We do not have a casino to have a proper lunch, we should not have to use the other faculties for something as basic and necessary as eating. The surfaces where you work in the lab are a shame. The food laboratories do not have basic implements such as juicer and before they didn'
t have microwaves either and the students had to supply them with the money from their pockets. Anyway…

The use of technology, for some subjects and for some teachers, is used quite well. Sometimes you learn more in this more didactic way than a 3-hour chair.

The teaching methods should improve. Personally I have had teachers who dedicate the whole class to read the power point presentation, something that can perfectly be done from home. I learn more on my own than when I go to classes. And I'm not the only one with the same problem. There are people in senior years who complain about the same thing.

Sorry not sorry :)
