Post 7: Changes to your Study Program

 Well, I'm in my third year, so i don't have a global idea of the career, but I still have several things I'd like to see changed.

First of all, the number of subjects per semester is excessive, in Sound we have to take almost 10 subjects per semester. This is due to the fact that the curriculum is very badly done, we have subjects that could be grouped together in order to lighten the load.

Besides, they don't care if we learn or if we have good mental health, all they care about is that we pass our exams. With so many subjects, I don't even have time to study, I'm only worried about passing. I don't think this is the right thing to do, but I know it's a problem with education in general.

On the other hand, I feel that the University focuses more on theory and very little on the practical part. Because of the pandemic and social outbreak I have not been able to record anything in the studio (AND I'M FINISHING MY THIRD YEAR!).

I think everyone knows the infrastructure problems that the arts centre has, it has always been and always will be a topic of discussion.

In the use of technology we are also a bit behind, I have colleagues in other institutes who have modern equipment, while we still use old equipment. 

All of this would improve if the faculty of arts were given more importance and received more money from the University of Chile.
