Changes to my study program

I’m in my last year of the career of journalism and I’m little disappointing. All people said to me that University of Chile was one of the best places for study, because all subjects were taught as best as possible, almost like perfect and people who end any career of this university would be a wise person, the best of everything, etc. But this is a little lie.

Is true that we have some subjects that are not taught in other universities, like “Knowledge problem” or “Semiology”, topic that teach us theories about life, language and communication. But we are too far away from the new world. 

The fact that we just have a few subjects of technology and its use in this era is disturbing. We still writing for newspaper or magazine, but day after day, this kind of journalism is dying. Fewer people buy it, and more read news in internet. I think that the university need a change in this topic.

On the other hand, journalism is a career that demands a lot of time outside of the classroom and, we have too much requirement of attendance. Always we have some subject in the limit line of approval or fail. They have to change that policy. Also, I think that we can do this career in 4 years or less, I remembered that I have one semester with just 3 subjects, so maybe if I could have taken more subjects in that time, I would be working and graduate right now.

 About the buildings and infrastructure, I think that ICEI have its own microclimate. The sun never illuminated all the places, so is really cold in winter and in summer is really fresh. On the other hand, I think that we don’t have all the things that we need, like cameras, computers, big library or a decent radio or TV studio.

Finally, I think that some teacher has to renovate their methodologies and adapt to the new demands of the market.

Well, I’m about to finish my career. I will going to miss some stuff, like long “windows” and the cheap food.

Enjoy your time here!
