Changes that could be made to my study programme

Hello everyone, today I will talk about the changes I could make in my studies program.

I am currently studying chemistry and pharmacy at the University of Chile, the formal length of the degree is 5 and a half years, but we all know that we actually took more than 5 and a half years.

Within the program of studies I have to take various scientific fields, such as biology, physics, mathematics, and of course a lot of chemistry, as well as introductory branches of the career. Then come the most specialized branches of pharmacology and it becomes more complex as the years progress.

We also have to take general training courses (CFG). I find that these courses are good because they are out of the routine, they can be sporting, cultural, among other topics. For example, I have taken volleyball and a course to be integral tutors (TIP), which is a program of the university to help the freshmen to pass their classes. The problem is that the courses are entertaining in other faculties and are far away, if I could improve something in this faculty is the largest variety of CFG and flexible hours. 

I find that the career demands a lot of time and academic load, we have a very structured program, if we do not follow it the duration of the career is prolonged, we have very heavy and difficult courses together and many must take the decision to take fewer courses or simply fail them. I would change the structure of the program with semesters with a little less load, to really enjoy the stay in the university and without so much pressure, there is nothing better than having the time necessary to study and enjoy university life. After all we are here because we like what we study. 

As for the infrastructure, we need a casino where to have lunch, it is very uncomfortable not to have it, and because of the technology, it is good, we have air conditioning, equipped laboratories and that is enough.

Finally, because of the teaching methods, I would like them to improve the English program, it could be more interactive in order to expand the vocabulary and improve the pronunciation, I think that English is important and that it is concordant with the students' time, since We have a lot of academic load.

Personal Opinion

Personal Opinion.

Hello everyone, today i will talk about my personal opinion of four topics. These are: "Tattoos"; "legalizing marijuana"; Chilean tradition called "mechoneo"and "legalized abortion in some cases".

I will start with the tattoos:

-Tattoos:

I thinks that is personal choice get a tattoo. I would like to get a tattoo. But it's really important choose a good place and that meets sanitary requirements. Because it can be very dangerous. The implements must be sterilized. Also you must think very well since it's something that will accompany you for life and have enough money since a nice tattoo is expensive.

-Legalizing marijuana:

I think the consumption of marijuana is very personal. I think it's not bad. Because its consumption should not be in excess. Many studies say that the consumption of marijuana should be after 21 years old. Because say that increases the risk of psychosis by 40% and after that age you have completely developed the brain. So I agree with the legalized marijuana but also to include education on this. And with respect to medicinal use is very much in accordance with its legalization.

-Chilean tradition called "mechoneo":

At this moment it is a complicated topic because it is cataloged like bullying. But in my university and in my career which is Chemistry and Pharmacy in 2017, I was "mechoneada" by my own will. It was fun but everything was with respect and volunteer and the final reward was a party. I think that it's a healthy activity but without exceeding.

-Legalized abortion in some cases:

I thinks that is a very delicate topic because depends on the situation in which the mother is. I agree with the legalized abortion in all cases, but is the decision of each one. Anyone can not force anyone to carry such responsibility without sex education that we should have in the school or in the family.
