 Hi

Today I will talk about changes that could be made to my study program. 

Recently in psychology a change to the curriculum was implemented. I am still in the old format and clearly there were things that did not work well, but I think that with the new curriculum they have been solved. 

I think there are some areas that are more demanding than others and that happens in all careers. Even so, I think that our professors in general have been quite considerate in terms of the academic load in the pandemic context. 

They have also been able to adapt their teaching techniques to virtual classes, but I think there is still a long way to go. Also, they have to understand that it is impossible to study all the contents that we used to see before, because the context has changed and being in online classes is extremely different from the face-to-face format. In this sense, I think there is still a long way to go in this area, but no one has the right answer because we are all learning as we go along. 

In terms of infrastructure, I think the Faculty of Social Sciences has a lot of progress to make. The rooms are very small, I remember that in some classes, some classmates had to sit on the floor because the chairs were simply not enough. While this is a problem that no one denies and facilities have been built to solve it, there is still a lot to do. Moreover, if we ever return to the presential context, with the new sanitary measures it would be practically impossible to maintain the social distance, because the space is too small.
