Post 5: Changes to my Study Programme

Hi guys! After studying almost 4 semesters of Chemesty and Pharmacy, I can say it has been a beutyfull experience, full of many happy and fun moments, but also full of frustrating moments, moments that have really made me think that the study programme has serious problems.

Today I will talk about changes I would do to solve those problems.

In the first year we have 2 physics subjects, Mechanics and Electromagnetism, the first one has no real utility in our major(sayed by fifth year students) more than give some many knowledege to use in Electromagentism, and this last one only has an little utility in a course of fifth year, after(in the best of cases) 4 years of taking it, this is enough time to forget something that you don't use. Take those subjects feels like a waste of time and effort. I would delete those subjects, and incorporate the necessary knowledge of Electromagnetism for that course within the same course.

In the third semester we have Organic Chemestry 1 and Laboratory of Organic Chemestry 1. For the first evaluations of the second one you need knowledege of the first one that you don't have at this point, this leaves you only two options, study a lot of things on you own(spending more time than the indicated by the credits) or get a bad mark. I would move Laboratory of Organic Chemestry 1 to the fourth semester, it would make the first evaluations more fair and make the first laboratorys more entertaining, because you understand what you are doing.

Well, that's all. Maybe in the future I'll come back to this post and add other changes to the study programme.

Bye bye.
