Post 7: Changes to my Study Program

 


I am currently studying journalism, and many of my classmates and I have tried to change the curriculum that we have, because it is not the best there could be.

The curriculum that we have is sometimes very ambiguous, and we don't have so many technical and specialized subjects of journalism specifically.

The workload in some subjects is to much, more if it is compared with the credits that we obtain from these, being sometimes subjects with a lot of academic load and with only 2 credits. 

I think the duration of the race is fine. It's 5 years, so that is okay.

The faculty facilities are not bad, but in some cases they are not the best either. Sometimes there are not enough equipment for all journalism students. But overall not bad.

The institute has good technology, at least for me. Sometimes it fails, as I said, in the quantity of equipment or in the quality of the licenses we work with, but all in all it's not bad, and in any case we can study and use technology for what we need it.

One of the things that a journalism career has, and I think that university in general, is the so-called "academic freedom". This allows each teacher to choose his teaching methods, which I think is fine. There are many great teachers in the career, whether in shared fields, in specialized journalism, in electives and in English.

PosT 8: English Language Challenges

This is the last blog that I will publish for this subject, so I am sad. The truth is that I have never gotten along very well with English, but this semester I really liked having this subject. As we were able to post on the blogs, I think we learned a lot more, since we were able to write and correct our mistakes always. I think the blog and everything we use to learn in this subject were very good tools. Regarding me, I really need to improve my English in all aspects. Everything in English costs me. But one of the things that I always find difficult to understand are the verb tenses. I have never been able to learn them and know how to differentiate them. At first glance I can only recognize the Verb To Be, like Felipe Avello hahhaha. I really want to learn the verb tenses well one day. For that I have to continue studying even if it's on my own. In addition to the classes, I am always listening to things in English. Sometimes I listen to interviews in English, which perhaps ar...

Post 5: My Future Job

Imagen
The job that I want to have in the future, it's a job I´ve wanted for years. I would like to be a detective or if that doesn´t work investigative journalist. I imagine it as my dream job. Generally this work should be indoors in the moment of data research, but it is also work outdoors to follow leads, follow suspects or investigate. So, it´s a mix. I would like to be a detective who travels the world investigating different cases. And since I would be traveling to different places, I couldn't have a stable office, but some temporary ones where I could organize my research. Something like the typical thing that is seen in detective movies, with investigation boards and everything jaajjaja. As I am studying journalism, my idea is to specialize in investigation, and when I leave the University, take courses at research schools or even at the PDI. The PDI, the investigation police of Chile, has courses for journalists to specialize in some research topics. I think they ...

Post 8- What I learned in my worst year

Imagen
Last year was the worst year of my entire life. I would like to tell you the story, and what I learned from it, in case this to serves someone. I will summarize the story. At the beginning of 2019 I moved to the sixth region, three regions apart from where I lived before. My friends, my new family and my boyfriend stayed there. After this move, I had little vacation time. I didn't know when I would see all my friends again, and I thought it would be the last time I would see my boyfriend in a long time. After, in march, I moved again, but this time to Santiago with my grandparents. I entered the university that I had always dreamed of, but it was not as I expected. It was a disaster. My family complete were very far to me.  I was alone, and I thougth that  I  dont had anyone.   For all this, I started felt alone and I felt that everything was wrong. The pain was very strong. I distanced myself from everyone and isolated myself strongly due to my pain. T...
