As I said in
previous posts, I study architecture, and even though I like my career, there are many things I would
like to change about it. As for curriculum, I think there are some subjects
that could be summarized a lot, (such as the ones of structure and materials),
and there are others subjects that should be enhanced in my opinion. In
relation to workload and length of studies, I’ve always complained about the
academic overload, I think there are many thins that could have been planned in
a better way, to make university life more enjoyable. I also think that the
career could be shorter than it is today if some subjects that are perhaps not
so necessary were summarized.
In my
faculty, there are always complaints about the infrastructure, I can't say much
because I was in the faculty for a very short time, but what I remember most
are the rats and the lack of good ventilation in the rooms. In relation to use
of technology, we have to use many programs, so it is necessary to have a good
computer, however I think this could discriminate or disadvantage some students
who cannot afford it, perhaps the university should guarantee computers for
those students. As for teaching methods, I think we have mostly teachers with
good methods, however there is a part of them who do not have them, and for
those I think it is necessary to teach them how to improve their teaching techniques.
