This post is not easy at all because from the start we can think it´s very simple to see problems about the faculty and career (Biochemistry) and give answers. However, thinking about how to achieve that change make everything more complicated.
Notwithstanding
that, I will share my opinion with you about some points that should be change,
in a decreasing order of relevance.
In first
place, I think the curriculum should undergo innovations because requirements
on the 2nd and 3rd year of the career are very dangerous.
For example, if you fail a subject like Chemical physics then you must be delayed
a complete year of university and the same happens on next years. Another
problem is you begin to know about you career during your 3rd year
because at that point you start having courses with closer relationship to your
future work.
In second
place, teaching methods and the way that classes are made should be reformed
because during more than a century the innovation on education are minimum. We need
new forms to teach, with more questions, working groups and a closer
relationship between students and professors.
A third
place is for structure, the truth is in my faculty we haven´t space, every year
the room and laboratories are fuller because the student cohort increases.
I think we need
to change more things, but my priority at this moment are those 3.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you that the burden of failing in the second or third year is tremendous which causes a lot of stress. And on the second point, many people leave the career without really knowing it because the real introduction is very late.
ReplyDeleteaaaah I very much agree with you on everything, GOD we really need space
ReplyDeleteIt is true, subjects like Physicochemistry delay you too much and that generates greater stress. Besides, it is not an easy subject xD
ReplyDeleteWow, it's true, i really agree with you
