Session 9. Changes to my study program

Hi! Today I'll talk about how is the study program of my degree and how would I like it to be.
First I want to say how is my study program; In psychology the first 2 years and half are for the obligatory subjects, these subjects are a little difficult because not all are funny, or not all are of my favorite perspective, for example I had psychology of the learning and this is an experimental perspective and I hate this, but not all was bad, some subject was very funny like social history of Chile, philosophy or clinical psychology, these was funny for me for the topic and for the teacher.

After the 2 years and half, you can chose your subjects and this is very more interesting because you can specialize in your favorite area, I have selected principally subject about clinical psychology, but the problem with this is that I want subject about humanism psychology and this is not so common, so there are few subject about this, but compared with another areas I can't complain.

One thing that I would change in the study program is the last year, because that year is so overloaded of works, first you have to make the practice and this is not payed, also you should make the thesis about a specific topic, and also, you have to come to the university for the certification program. All this is a overloading for the student and the majority has a delay for end this year, so I think that one of this things should be before of the 5th year.

In relation to the use of the technology in the class I´m content because is a good help for make the works and for learn the subjects.

  1. I agree with you. Specially with the things you said about 'last year'. I study anthropology and we also have to make a thesis and
    the practice, and I think it's too much.

  4. Hi Victor, I also hated psychology of the learning. I think that some matters like pavlovian conditioning are important or extinction because some therapies are based in these. Nevertheless, I founded too specific and I think that many of the things we saw should be in an optional subject.
    And I really agree with you about humanism, it is a shame that we have a small number of these courses.

  5. I also think that we are overloaded with work, that makes it difficult to specialize in my areas of interest since I use a lot of time doing homework
