Post 9: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
Over the years that I've been studying sociology, I have always been questioning the program and the curriculum of my career. Even, I was a participant in the process of renovation of the curriculum and graduation profile of Sociology at the Universidad de Chile. The process took about 4 years, where students and academics talked about things that should be improved in the career.  The students come to the conclusion that from the first year they should have their own subjects of sociology, and not have own subjects of psychology.

In addition, we was concluded that the time of graduation of career must be shorted, because the majority of students graduate in the fifth year and are titled to the sixth or seventh...

Post 10: English Language Challenges

Hi everyone Well, this is the last English blog I'll do this year. I must say that sometimes it cost me to write what I wanted to say, however, I enjoyed throughout the semester writing about the various topics that the teacher requested. I feel that having created this blog, it will be a nice memory after I have finished my university career, and I will remember the teacher Rosa Zagal and the course with love. With this subject, I was able to improve certain aspects of my English, such as grammar and vocabulary increase. However, I feel that my level of English is not yet adequate, because in my school I never had a good English educational base. I plan to continue improving my English, and for this, I want to enroll in a part time English Institute, to learn English while I continue my postgraduate in Social System Theory All these plans that I have planned to do in my future, are due to the fact that I know that English is fundamental today in order to achieve an elev...
