Post 5: Changes to my study program

I really feel that I love my career, in general I really like everything, and I feel very motivated. However, I think we must be conscious of some things that could be better.

To start, I think that the general curriculum is very interesting and well planned. But I think that in the first two years of the career they should implement more subjects related to archaeology and physical anthropology, since most of the subjects that we see these years are related to social anthropology.

Sometimes I feel that the workload is quite heavy in terms of content because we have to learn a lot of different things in different areas of anthropology. However, probably because the first year of studies was online, it has been quite easy for me to carry the workload until now, let's hope they continue to be like this for the rest of the career.

With respect to the infrastructure of the faculty I think that in some ways it is deficient, for example the lack of places to eat and food options, besides the fact that the classrooms are small for the number of students. However, I must admit that I really like the murals that the faculty has, I think they give color to the space.

Because of the pandemic, the use of technology has been a very important factor in the studies with online and hybrid classes. To be honest, these have been somewhat deficient because sometimes the teacher's or my connection is down. It is also a bit exhausting to have to read so much on the computer, but it is more economical than buying the texts.

Finally, I think that the teaching methods in general are good, I don't usually have many problems to understand, because the classes are always complemented with readings that help to understand in detail. I also like that there are a lot of practical classes, although I have not experienced many due to the pandemic, I know that it is something that is usually done, for example this year we had a field trip that was very entertaining and important for professional development.

    I think they should really improve their use of technology, luckily those problems with the microphones were fixed

    the pandemic has left us with a lot of consequences in terms of technology, online and hybrid classes make learning at university more laborious :(

    Read on the computer has been very dificult for me, but actually I feel less exhausted than year before. Regrettably, it's much cheaper than buying or photocopying the texts.

    I think exactly the same as you! The murals give color and life to the university space, and as students we should take ownership of them.

    I also find the infrastructure to be deficient, there is no space

How Can Your Major Make the World a Better

  I am studying anthropology, I think one of the reasons why I chose this career is because since I discovered its existence I thought it was the way in which I could make a contribution to society. I consider that motivation and vocation are the most important things to be able to make a contribution with the work I will do in the future, and I hope that anthropology will allow me to do so. I believe that anthropology in essence allows us to expand our way of seeing the world, allows us to put ourselves in the place of the other, and indeed to be more empathetic with others. It is from empathy, I believe, that changes can be initiated; it is vital to understand the ways in which others live in order to be able to help them effectively. In the case of archaeology, I really like the idea of being able to reconstruct the past, and give voice to many events, people, groups that have been ignored until now. In short, anthropology provides multiple tools to understand others in a resp...

My favorite piece of technology

  In definitive the laptop is my favorite piece of technology.   I remember when I was I child I spend a lot of time in front of the computer in my house, I liked playing games, watched music videos and pictures about the universe. But when my family was able to buy a laptop for the home, my enthusiasm for this piece of technology only grew, because I found it fascinating that now I could do the same as on a computer, and that it would be easier to take it with me. Due to the pandemic, I generally use the laptop at home, specifically at a desk. However, before the pandemic when I had to go out for long periods of time, I always made sure to take my laptop with me so that I had everything I needed. I currently use the laptop mainly to connect to online classes, because the pandemic has made it impossible to have face-to-face classes. Besides this, the laptop is important for my day to day, since I use it to organize all my responsibilities, I can be attentive to the mail, w...

A Photo and its Story

  This photo is from October 15, 2018 day in which I adopted my kitten. The arrival of my cat was like a great coincidence, because 1 days before with my family we had been talking about the possibility of rescuing an animal to live with us, and after analyzing it and realizing that if we can take good care of an animal, we decided to do it calmly. Coincidentally, a friend's mom called us saying that she had found a kitten dumped at the market, and that she needed to give them up for adoption urgently because they were in very bad health. So, I went out quickly with my cousin and when we arrived luckily, we still found two kittens, unfortunately the others kitties had died. That's how I found my cat. A vet had told us that it was a female, so for the first three weeks my cat was called Quimera Natti Natasha, until we found out in a check up that it was a male and his name was changed to Teodoro Ozuna. This picture brings me very nice memories, it was definitely a very goo...
