Changes to your study programme

Hi everybody!

This week you are going to write about the changes you would like to make to your study programme. I think this topic really touches you, because I've heard that some subjects should not be in your curriculum, and I've heard that many times and in different faculties.
In my personal case, I remember that when I studied pedagogy some of my classmates noticed that the hours devoted to didactics (an essential course in the teaching area) were not enough, so they decided to make something in order to revert that situation. At that time, there were a lot of meetings, and some leaders appeared. At the end, the Faculty agreed to add more hours to the programme, so we could have an extra semester of Didactis of the speciality. I think that the generation of that year made a great change that helped people who enroled the following year.
Most people agree that careers in Chile last longer than they should, I don't know the reason, but I think the problem is beyond the universities, maybe it's on the education we receive at school and, as we all know, it's not as good as it should be; the first semesters at university tend to even out the different levels students have when they start university.

what about your career?
