My study programme

Hello everyone, today I'mm gonna talk the changes I'd make to my study programme.

Since I'm studying psychology in Universidad de Chile, I would start by changing the currículum of the programme, and turn it into a more practical curriculum, since the current curriculum do not prepare us for the jobs that we want to work in. Every subject is so theoretical and we don't know how to present ourselfs when we are face to face with the people we're gonna work with, we don't know how and what to do as psychologist. For that reason, I believe that the curriculum should aim for preparing us to put into practice the things that we learn, and not just keep them in the theory. Also, I'd make changes to the subjects teached in the curriculum, and eliminate the one's that do not help us to grow up as good psychologists, as, for example, Historia Social de Chile.

Also, I would check the workload of the subjects, because I believe that there're some subjects that have a overwhelming workload, in which many of the things they teach do not help us, or are not important for the psychologist carrer. There are professors that believe that their subject is the only subject we must take, and their workload is just crazy.

I don't think I can make very much about the facilities of my faculty, but I think we must use every space that the campus gave us to improve our classes conditions, because the infrastructure is very important since it can facilitate or hinder the learning and teaching process.

I believe that nowadays, the teaching methods should be paired with the use of technology, since the use of technology help people to learn things and have become a way to spread the knowledge. For that reason, I believe that professors should start using techonology to their favor, because it can help them, as well as it helps the students. We can't use the teaching methods used on the 80s, because the world is different, life is different, schools and universities are different, and they must adapt to the new world.

English in my life

Hello everyone! Today I will talk about my experience learning english at university.  First of all, I should start saying that I decided to take the english class and not exempt myself of it because I believed that my english was a bit rusty, and I thought that refreshing my knowledge and start practicing my oral interaction would help me improve my habilities. I think that the english of the university is pretty nice in order to give us the basic habilities we need to develop ourselfs in the academic world. I also believe that the use of blogs helps us to improve our writing habilities about differents subjects.  I believe that the aspects of my english that need to be improved are my pronunciation, my use of vocabulary and my grammar, since I commit mistakess very often in those topics. I think I will improve that by starting to speak with other people, maybe natives of the english languaje, and by watching movies without subtitles.  I use english very much o...

Forensic psychology

Hello everyone! Today I’ll be talking about the job I want to work in. I think I’d like to work as a psychologist, because there’re many areas where you can work, such as mental health, communitary, in the justice system, among others. Personally, I’m in between mental health or forensic psychology, but I’m not really sure which one I prefer. I’ll talk about forensic psychology because I feel it’s the closest to me, and the one where I can apply most of my knowledge. I imagine that job as doing evaluations of criminals and situations in family subjects, and, maybe, working as a profiler in a police department, like PDI or Carabineros. I think sometimes I’ll work indoor, working in an office or a place where I’ll be interviewing people, and in other times I’ll work outdoor, like when analizing crimes scenes or stuff like that. I won’t like to travel very much in my work, since I need to be in the country for whenever the tribunals call me, and that’s not compatible with traveling....
