Academic changes in 2022


This is my fourth year studying journalism and with the time I noticed a few things that I'd like to change in the study programme.  

In my first year,  I didn't know about the curriculum and, for this reason, I was suprised to see the number of  theoretical subjects. I belived that journalis was better learned in a practical way, but I understood that is necessary an academic perspective to really understand the importance of communication. Nevertheless, there are so many theoretical signatures that can be better exploited. I think that if  the methodologies of learning and evaluation were changed, the subjects would be lees tedious and more attractive to students. 

Another thing that I'd like to change are the electives. Sometimes the students choose a elective only to complete the credits and no for real interest. Also, many times the course quotas are insufficient to all the studentes. For this reason, the programme should add new options, more diverse and current to assure quality teaching and learning. 

About the workload, I think that there is much to do in this area like define the workload according to the credits in the subject or offer more access to psycological support. The workload needs to be regulated, because usually the evaluations are scheduled in the same week or day, and that's horrible for us and our mental health. 

Also, I'd like to improve somethings relating to the infrastructure, primarily of the classrooms and bathrooms which present problems like broken roofs and lack of hygiene products. In terms of the material resources available, I think is nedeed more licenses and tools that help us understand and work.

    Totally agree with the fact that a lot of times we are forced to take a elective only for the credits, and the sistem that a lot of times doesn´t gives you the few electives that you may have interest in doesn´t help.

A PHOTOGRAPH YOU LIKE

This picture was taken by my friend Catalina on my birthday five years ago. In the photo you can see my brother, my friend Daniela  and a mysterious arm pushing my head against the cake. It was a surprise birthday, but not so much because I already suspected everything. That year I wasn't planning to celebrate my birthday because it was too much work and I was too stressed out with High school and others things. That's why my friends plannet that surprise to cheer me up. They all got together and decorated my house with balloons and pictures of us. One of my friends made me walk around the center of Santiago to distract me (she made a terrible work to be honest haha). When I arrived at my house it was all hugs and laughter.  I had an incredible time with them and I forgot the bad things for a while. I remember that I cried a little and I was grateful with them. I love this picture because is funny and it reminds me that my fanily and friends are wonderful and they loves me like

The best concert ever

 The best concert ever was my firts one.  When I was 13, I went to de One Direction's concert with my friend Ninoska. We were in eighth grade and I asked my parents for a ticket as my birthday present. It took me some time, but I did it. On may 31th, 2014, I didn't go to the school and early in the morning I got in line with Ninoska and thousands of other girls in the stadium. It was too cold and it was raining a little bit, but we were so happy and really excited that we didn't care.  Although we were waiting for hours, we found ways to kill time. We slept on out seats and we ate the snacks that we hid from the guards at the entrance. Also, we talked, sang and danced with the girls who were next to us.  When the concert started, I was speechless. was like an explosion of emotions. At the beginning I was singing and the next second I was sreaming while I was jumping, crying and dancing to all the band's songs. It was great. Everytime that my friend Ninoska and I get tog

A country I would like to visit!

One of the countries that I'd like to visit is Dominican Republic. I think that my sisters are responsables of my choice because they like caribbean music. I remember when I was a little girl every weekend they listened music like salsa, bachata, bolero and merengue by dominican musicians like Juan Luis Guerra or Alex Bueno, and they taught me how to dance. It didn't work, but I love the songs.  Later, I met Abel, my cousin's husband. He is dominican and he taught us about his country. He told us about the country's landscapes, its culture, its traditional food and its customs. Even he made us play baseball! Finally, this aroused my curiosity, I think that I'd need more than a week to do everything I want to do there. First, I'd like to visit its beautiful beaches and then its nationals parks and more places in the cities like colonial zone in Santo Domingo. But I'm more intered in learning about its culture and going to its most popular celebrations to expe
