Changes to my study programme

 

Hi!

I’m studying chemistry and pharmacy at university of Chile. This career lasts five and a half years (theoretically) but most of the students take 7 or 8 years. In this career you can learn about science and all the processes behind of medication, also you will know about different diseases or pathologies and his treatments.

We have a lot of subjects related with many areas, like industry, laboratories, health, regulatory things, cosmetics, and others. I agree with most of the subjects we have, but sometimes the “requirements” for some courses are the problem. For example, you need to pass the subject electromagnetism to take cellular physiology the next semester. I think these subjects aren’t related, so if you fail, it takes another year immediately in the first year. So, I would change that, and I would like to implement more laboratories (like subjects not like infrastructure).

With respect to workload, I think in the last two years, it is very high, specially the last year. Because every week you have presentation, papers, homework, tests, etc. And most students have around 6 subjects and you must take “specialized electives” to complete the 15 credits. It’s too much. And each elective gives you 3 or 2 credits… some gives you 4 credits, but that means it is more work. I would like more options for specialized electives and more vacancies (because only 20 students can be in a subject).

About infrastructure, now in 2023 I think is acceptable (before we didn’t have a cafeteria, and now we have one) but I think it’s necessary to install more tables for lunch time.

    The excess of requirements and the fact that there are no applications for subjects without requirements for the common plan, is a big problem!

the last blog u.u

Hello classmates!! I hope everyone are fine... I know you are tired but still is little time to finish the semester 👐 so cheer up! In my experience I never had to wrote blogs in english so this modality is very comfortable and fun. Sincerely I liked so much to do the blogs because the teacher give us themes to write and thats themes was so dynamic ... Since talk about our carreers to a simple opinion. I think to do blogs is a  good idea for many reason. For example: we can to meet new classmates or your likes, we can to debate about the different opinions, we can to expres freely our thought, etc. For me write in english not is so difficult but speak it yes. The last year I was so rusty with the english because I only used this language for songs or somethings like that but never to write about my likes or my opinions so in the beginning of the subject was a little complicated since I forgot some words. Thanks to the blog are week to week I could to exercises and improve my ...

Cellular physiology

Hello! My favorite subject as the title says is cellular physiology. In presencial classes for me is very difficult to pay attention, because the class is very long and you can distract with anything. But now with the online classes I can pause the class and take notes or give me 10 minutes of free time. As I said before, the class is so extensive. Tuesday starts at two pm o'clock until four pm and wednesday starts at 8:30 o'clock until eleven am.  so in classes I have to take many notes of the explication of teacher or sometimes I prefer to transcribe to understand better..... It takes a little time but that is how I understand. Some of contents I see are: cellular communication, receptors, homeostasis, membrane potentials, etc. This subject I liked at over time... I like it because I can know how the human body works. I was terrified of biology subject because I never had this subject in the secondary, I started to see in the first year of the career so it was a litll...
