Blog 9 - Changes to my study programme

I have been just one year and a half studying in my career, so I think there are lots of things I don't know yet about Anthropology according to 'universidad de Chile', but, nevertheless, I have some comments already. Regarding the subjects I have studied, most of them have been to my liking, and the ones which are not, beyond my liking with it's topics, I think have been necessary. But, something I would change, it would be the workload, because university it's always so overwhelming and it work that way, with pressure, but in a manner that several times you must discard some texts or topics and to prioritize some of the total topics included in the career's curriculum, because there are too many and there is very little time to cover it all. The length of my career I think it's fine, maybe one more year to lighten the academic load, mut beyond that it's ok.- On the other hand, the building the university has are good, but the infrastructure I think could be better, specifically the rooms in facso; there are too little to the whole class, to begin, and if wouldn't be because of the big auditoriums, there would be an important flaw in that sense.- The use of technology it's fine; I appreciate u-cursos and the facilities that provide, like access to the bibliography, grades, among others. And of course, a little bit more tech it's never bad, like a digital board or some stuff like that. And by last, regarding teaching methods, I think it must include a little bit more practical things, because there is too much theory with just a few or none examples in real life, so it turns a little difficult to relate the academy ideas with specific cases.

    How lucky you were to know the university. And if I agree with you that there are times when you have to prioritize some texts or topics due to the academic load.

    I support your final comment! Lack of practices and in all areas! It is taught in the career in a very theoretical way. Good luck!

    Thanks god for the "aularios"! I agree, the classrooms at FACSO weren't really great, and they were really cold too... I still miss them anyway.

    I think the point you make about the academic load is very important, since it becomes non-pedagogical at one point, when it has students with strong stress.

    I also think that FACSO does not have a good infrastructure, above all, considering that the University of Chile provides other faculties with much better facilities.

English Language Challenges

I really like to learn english so, the experience of this course has been interesting for me. It would be amazing to incorporate more vocabulary and talk more fluid, but, being in the university is a bit complicated to learn in a good way, because a language is a universe, and you must focus on that world to get inmerse of it, and so you can really speak english, and for that, I think is even necessary to be in a country which speaks in english; nevertheless you can acquire a lot of familiarity with english by internet and this kind of instances. The blogs, on the other hand, have been good exercises to improve my drafting and learn on my own some things about grammar and vocabulary, with the help of 'word reference', of course. In addition, to be doing blogs every week has been a little bit exhausting, because it is not easy; but to learn and stay in practice is the good part of the above. I need to improve a lot of aspects in my english, like my limited vocabulary, above

My career and its Implication

When I had to choose one option between the whole spectrum of pathways, related to careers, it was difficult to me, but I always knew that my area was the humanist topic. Nevertheless, I didn't have too clear the specific option. History was my second option, but Anthropology finally was my first one, and as I could be admitted in the 'University of Chile', I took a risk and accepted, from that time, "my choose fate". For me was one of the most passionate topic the one related to the human being and its cultural sphere, because, in some way, it covers many of the areas I'm interested in, like history, social scientific questions and terms, and even philosophy, in a way. And the cultural aspect it's one of the most interesting ones, in the sense of being so incorporated and naturalized in the people , and probably in the whole different cultures, who do not necessarily realize that it's just a social construct and not a truth in itself, namely, beyond

Southern Highway (CArretera Austral)

If there is a place I really love, and I never get bored visiting it, it's the 'Carretera Austral'. On the one hand, I love that kind of landscape; the abundant forests and that green that surrounds you, the rains, the glaciers and the little towns..that kind of experience I would love to live every day..so, next summer holidays, I wish I could go there. Being there, I would like to visit different kinds of places, and get there in a special way. First of all, go by car with my closest relatives would be amazing; my mom, my brother, my maternal grandparents and aunt..Although, not with the sole purpose of getting there, but traveling without any rush, and, having enough money, stopping and even staying wherever we want; visiting beaches, national parks and/or reserves, like Truful Truful and/or 'Saltos de Petrohue', and maybe some towns or cities like Valdivia, Puerto Montt, among others. Already being on the 'Carretera Austral', I would love to rent a c
