Changes to my Study Programme

This year i made a striking with my specialty classmates to modify our study programme because it had many problems that had not been solved in many years. One of our biggest problems were the programs of the subjects, being outdated and very far from the current reality. We also encountered another problem, when studying physical anthropology (or also called biological) the subjects were focused on teaching only biology, leaving aside all the social theory that we required to be anthropological truths. For this we demanded a reorganization of the programs of these subjects so that they had a more anthropological orientation. 

On the other hand, we also found problems with the schedules demanded by these subjects, since the requirement of these was above the stipulated level of the study program, being for us as students very difficult to maintain a healthy student life rate. Against this situation we asked for a readjustment in the hours of study and that these were similar to the credits of each subjects.

Another point of conflict was the infrastructure of the laboratories that we used for our classes, since these were in poor cleaning conditions and are currently very small for the number of students we are currently in the specialty. In addition, the technological materials that are in the laboratory (such as the computer or data) are very old, so they are difficult to handle and very slow. I hope that in the future more laboratories will be enabled within the faculty to improve the conditions of study.

Finally, the professors who dictated these subjects maintained antiquated formations, that do not conform with what the world anthropology area is currently needing. For this, we talked to the teachers to respect the programs of the subjects and dictate the subject they wanted or according to their personal tastes.
