Study programme


Hey guys, this blog is kinda special because i can say what i think about the career !! and first of all i have to explain my curriculum, that means what i have to study, which is a lot but most of it is useful, but i have to complain about the lenght of the career >__< 

the workload is heavy as a tanker truck, at least for me, because i have tuesday, wednesday and thursday with calculus, so i dont have time to digest the contents and i feel overwhelmed with so much math !!
The lenght of the studies are humongous, the normal career is supposed to finish in 5.5 years, but as i reproved a subject it extends to six and a half year !! can you believe that ? i will be stuck here till i am 25 years old (if i dont fail another subject) while in england people with my age study for 3 years and have the same degree as i would have when i finish mine, so in that regard, Chile needs to advance and make careers shorter, by that way, people start to work earlier, and can go to investigation even earlier !!  

The facilities in the university are ok-ish, they aren´t bad, but neither perfect, we need a place to have lunch inside the faculty, so that way we won´t depend on the odontology casino.
We have ricofee but they do not accept JUNAEB card, so not all of the students can afford to their lunch, which isn´t the best in my opinion.

In the other hand we have a pretty nice library, it has all the books that we need in excellent conditions, and the computers room are nice, personally i have some difficulties using them because i am used to use iMac´s, the only drawback of the computers room is that there are few computers, so most of the time when i need to print my works the room is full and half of the computers can´t print so its really though to do it.



the technology in the university is really good, the classrooms have air conditioners, the computers are good but not top tier, but the laboratories are amazing, they have latest technology in them and also old instruments, so we can learn how people in the past used to do their work without technology, so in some words we have the best of both worlds, we have the best technology and the oldest one, like voltimeters, and the oldest galvanometers encased in a wooden frame, they look really vintage 

i cannot say much about teaching methods because this is my first university, so i dont know how they teach in other ones, but i think its nice, most of the teachers are friendly, but one think that i hate are the powerpoints, beacuse the exams and tests never include topics shown in them !!
