Changes to my study program

I study social work, and actually I have to read a lot of texts and books, and because of pandemics evaluations are done at home. About the curriculum, the first subjects I have to study are related to social sciences, these are made as an introduction for the career; which is the basic cycle. The specialized cycle starts at third year, in which I can study and specialize on subjects and investigations about different issues. And the last one is the professional cycle and sadly I’m not sure how the last subjects are, but I think that are more investigations.

In my opinion, teaching methods should change a little bit, because during pandemics I feel that I couldn’t learn all the stuff I should learn, I’m not saying that everything must change, it’s more like teaching more stuff that can be complemented with theories, such as learning how to use programs or practice. Also, I would like that the study program includes more authors from Latin-American. There are tools in the Faculty that can complement studies such as a library because books can be useful for researches; also, a computer room access could be necessary because students can learn how to use excel or use statistics programs for investigations or more stuff. I can’t say more because I went to the Faculty once because of some doubts about scholarships, and I couldn’t go to other places.

English language challenges!

Hello, today I am going to make a blog about learning English. Learning English at university is an interesting experience because I have that subject at online classes, is very different when I have to talk, take classes, doing presentations and tasks face to face than doing all of this stuff at online classes. Doing blogs is helpful to me because I can improve my grammar and apply new vocabulary and it’s a good exercise for writing about different things and themes, it encourages my creativity. Actually I need to improve some aspects about my English, such as pronunciation and listening conversations in English. About the first aspect, I have mispronunciations about some words and this can be improve if I practice more my speaking, so I have to speak more, listen how I sound and use some dictionary to make sure how to pronounce some words. Also, I have some troubles understanding and hearing some words while I am doing listening’s, I can improve this watching movies or shows in Eng...

My future job

About my ideal job, I would like a job in which I can be able to show and apply all my skills and knowledge. I can imagine myself having a job related to social interventions like working in a NGO and being able to help people. Also, I feel more comfortable having an indoors job, but I don’t have any problems if I have to do outdoors job.  About salaries, to be honest, my ideal salary would be between $700.000 and $900.000 (966 USD and 1200 USD), actually I’m not excepting to earn a lot of money like millions, but at least I want to earn what is necessary to live in peace. I don’t see myself travelling a lot in my ideal job, because I would like to work in local places; but doing travels is cool too, because I can go to work at different places. To be honest, I would like to travel because of postgraduate studies. Actually I’m not studying a major, but I’m thinking to study a major about social interventions, specifically related to social struggles, social vulnerability and...

What's like to study Social Work?

Actually I’m studying Social Work at Universidad de Chile since 2020; I choose this career because of a sense of justice and dignity towards human beings. I’m interested about themes such as poverty, human development and life quality, so, I want to learn about the methodology for intervene in social problems, and I would like to support and help people. I like the curriculum of this career because is multi-disciplinary, at the moment, apart from learning about investigation methodology and different visions of Social Work, I’m learning social history, sociology, psychology, economy and statistics too. Studying Social Work online is still weird, because I studied Law offline (because of the same reasons) at 2019, and I lived the normal experience of studying in a university, and now, changing career and studying online is kind of hard because I feel that everything I do is being at my bedroom and sitting on my bed listening to classes; learning is difficult because I find it hard ...
