Blog 7: Changes to my study program

 Hi everyone, I hope you´re all well, in this blog I will talk about certain changes that should be made to the curriculum of public administration career.

First of all, in consideration to the subjects that are taught, I think that most of them are well adapted and contribute correctly to achieve a nuanced educational formation of political and social aspects which are required for the career of public administration, along with, obviously, aspects related to the realm of public management. However, there are certain subjects and contents of these subjects that aren´t of great relevance or even null for what will be our job performance, and in general our profesion, such as some mathematics knowledge, some epistemology content, and also the free and cfg courses, which I think should be optional.

Second, about the workload and length of studies, there isn´t much I can say, because this is my first year and although I imagine how demanding the face-to-face classes must be based on my past university experience, I don't know it exactly, besides I think that the online classes are easier than the face-to-face modality, not in terms of subjects, but in the evaluation methods.

With respect to our faculty I don´t know it yet, but I have heard from students and teachers that it is very small and isolated from other faculties of the university.

Finally, in attention to the tecnology and teaching methods, I think it is good that teachers use technology to develop their classes in a better way, although it is necessary that all this is done in a face-to-face modality, although the pandemic has taught both students and teachers to adapt to new methods based on technology, the online modality isn´t enough for a complete formation.
