Post 7: Changes to my study programme

Hello! In today's blog I am going to talk about the changes in my architecture study program.

First of all, I think the curriculum provides the necessary knowledge for any student who wants to dedicate to architecture, if I were to make an addition to the study program, I think I would probably like to see more workshops in relation to graphic programs. This is complete to relate with the use of technology in the career because the constant use of technological tools is essential, so it's something that we must all be faced with.

As for the workload, in my opinion it is a lot and many times this has led to affecting the mental health of the students. I also think that in some way this has become normalized in architecture, which is a terrible thing. For the same, I would like that teaching methods can improve in some cases, as it's necessary for some teachers to understand and be able to carry out a correct teaching methods that do not harm the learning process of their students.

In relation to length of studies, in my opinion if the curriculum reduced the content of some courses, it could be shorter than it's today.

In my experience in FAU, I could say that the infrastructure is not completely adequate to develop all the necessary activities, there is precariousness in some rooms, lack of study spaces and more. I also think that it's quite small, however there is not much relationship between the other careers and neighboring faculties. One of the things I remember the most is that there was no suitable place to have lunch or eat, which is necessary on any university campus.
