changes to my study programme

-

 The sociology curriculum is divided into 10 semesters. The semesters are grouped into "cycles". The first is the initial cycle, which consists of 4 semesters and has general training courses. The second is the deepening cycle, which consists of 4 semesters and elective courses. The last one is the professionalization cycle, which consists of 2 semesters and there are no more classes. In the two semesters, the degree seminar and the professional practice are done.

In most of the courses, the professors give us written evaluations, essays or research. So far, almost all the content of the classes is theoretical and you need to read a lot of texts, especially in the "theory" courses. In my first year I got to know e-journals and scientific articles, now they are my favorite sources of information. The articles are useful because they have a summary and key words that help reading.

This is my first year studying in presential modality, so I don't know all the places. I usually just walk around the social sciences faculty and study in the philosophy faculty library, it is very quiet and peaceful.

Finally, the changes I would make are, decrease the courses there are on history. I think the courses are important to know the background of the current context, but I think there are too many. In the whole career there are three courses, History of Modern Society, Social History of Latin America and Social History of Chile. Maybe the courses could be compacted and be two.

the best holidays ever

Hello everyone! Today I am going to tell you about my vacation. Actually I don't have many vacations and I don't remember the trips. But I do remember the time I went to Pisagua beach with my family, it was about 4 years ago. It was a very fun vacation, the color of the water was clear and bright, it looked very clean and there were not many people. We stayed all day on the beach, we left in the afternoon because we felt cold. In the night we went shopping at the food stands in the area, they sell empanadas with seafood products. We bought mpanadas all flavors and they were very tasty I don't remember if we stayed one day or two in Pisagua, but I think it was only one because I don't remember where we slept. I think it was my best vacation ever, I had a great time because my nieces went on the family vacation, they live far away and I don't see them often.

my dream job

  Hi everyone, today I am going to talk about my dream job. When I was a little girl I didn't think about what I wanted to work on when I was a grown up but in high school I started to search which careers I liked, my options were sociology, anthropology and psychology. At that time, I didn't know anything about those careers. I also didn't have much information about the social sciences. I don't know how I got into the sociology. Before, nobody in my family knew about the existence of that career. I am currently in my third year of sociology and I still don't know what I want to specialize in. According to the graduate profile of the career, the sociologists can work in different areas. The lines of research I like are cultural studies, but I'm not sure I want to work in research. To work in research you need to have skills and methodical knowledge, I make a lot of mistakes in research work. So far, I am not worried about the job field and salary, but som...

english language challenges

  In my experience, learning english in the university is difficult. In the high school it was also difficult but now I have very difficult courses and my academic load is very great. In general, I have not had time to study english, I only learn in classes. Outside of class I don't use english, I watch and listen to everything in spanish. However, last year I listened to musicals in spanish because they didn't have subtitles or a spanish version. This year I haven't had time to do other things, I usually just study or rest. The university presential experience is stressful, it has been hard for me to go back to the classroom. I hope that on vacation I will be able to listen to musicals again, I used to be able to understand the songs a little bit but now I have a hard time. I think listening to songs that I already know the words to are a good option for studying english. Finally, I had fun with the questions in the English blogs, in everyday life it is not common to h...
