Hello Classmates and Teacher! Today I am going to write about the changes that I would like to make to my study programme. How do you know, I am study Anthropology in the University of Chile, this career has a duration of five years, two of basic cycle, two of mention and one of degree. I think that are many years of study, in special of basic cycle. I do not think that basic cycle is bad but if that is too long and with a mix of things of all the areas of the Anthropology in special of the mention of Social. Basic cycle is as a guide for the people that do not know that mention they want. But for the people that do know that mention we want is as time of filling. In special for the people that we want the mention of archaeology or physical anthropology. Because basic cycle has few subjects of this two mention, in special of Physical anthropology. I think that should not have basic cycle or that was only one years introductory a the career and the rest year to be of mention.
Other thing that I would like to changes in my study programme, would be to add more practical of laboratory and outing a field (terrain), because I think that we have many theoretical classes and few methodological practical and field experience.
For last I would like that the University invest more in the improvement of the spaces, laboratory and material (object) of work of the mentions for a better development of the students.
Good, This is all for today.
I hope that you are well
I hope that you have a nice weekend!
Pd: I hate the obligatory extracurricular subjects as a requirement for the obtaining of the qualification
I agree with you, the basic cycle has many subjects related to Social Anthropology and just a few related to the other mentions, but the case of Physical Anthropology is worse because for me there is just one subject related to this mention.
ReplyDeletei agree with you about the basic cycle of anthropology, is sad that the most part of the subjects be related just to social anthropology
ReplyDeleteI think the same, we need more laboratory practice, not only for physical mention, too for archaeology, they have to work in there and we didn't have class in laboratories of archaeology (with ceramic and lithic)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, basic cycle is too long and we need more practice classes than theoretical classes, especially for the people that want Archaeology and physical anthropology
