Just some academic matters




Talking about the curriculum of my career (anthropology), i only can say that my personal problem with it is the lack of subject that uses the “practical route” or objective route.

At least in the second semester of the last year, we finally could have a subject that was based almost entirely in field work, and now I really missed other like that one.

That is because I’m interested in Physic Anthropology and the career seems to be aimed to give an experience more oriented to the social side that the scientific side.

This also can be analysed with the teacher´s method; I really miss that kind of classes with a lot of objective information, like the first Evolution class that we had in our first semester. That kind of classes with more academic content and tests.

Same with technology, but at least in my career I think that is a little too early to introduce us to the computer side, because the ways that the computers can be used depends too much with the specific mention where we are.

In summary, I think that I will enjoy the career again when we finally can choose the mention that we want. It is only a sad feeling that we can start to do it barely in the third year.

But looking for a positive side, also we can say that the career have been very flexible in terms of schedule and workload. Compared to other careers, for now we haven’t so many classes in the same day.
