Post 9: Changes to my study program

Hi! Classmate

The topic for today is the change I would like to do to my study program. I study anthropology and I like very much the program that has the career.

If I have to change something of the study program in the basic cycle (that lasts the first two years of the career) I would shorten the subjects related with the specialties, like archeology and physic anthropology, maybe that’s because I like social anthropology, but I think those subjects are too specific for the first year, and then you forget all that, because you don´t use it.

In the advance cycle - in the specialization- I like very much the program, because you don´t have to take subject obligatorily, but you have to choose between a series of subjects, you only have to
comply with certain lines. The main lines are: methods, anthropological theories, apply anthropology, socio-cultural anthropology, ethnologies and one complementary of your choice.

For example, in the line of methods, you have to complete four subjects, but you can choose between ethnographic writing, qualitative methods, quantitative methods, visual, ethnographic,
qualitative analysis software, etc. So, you have a range of possibilities to choose and you can build your career according to your likes.  In the career don´t use usually technologic elements, but lately there are some elements.

In general, if you are organized the workload it´s not too hard, but you have to know you would be many hours reading so you have to love reading, it´s fundamental. Finally if you do everything in time, you can finish the career in 5 years. The teachers are kind most of the time if you go to the class and you try to learn.

The faculty now it´s big and have many places to hangout and study, you can go to the library or the hall, maybe the cafeteria or the yard.

That’s all for today

Regards!
