Hello there!! Today I will write about some changes that could be made to my study programme, in my second year of dentistry I have 6 subjects, 5 of them are mostly theoreical, but the last is theoretical and practical, this subject is called “Simulación para el ejercicio profesional I”, unfortunately because of pandemic we had a few practices, no more than 4, I hope in the future we can be able to go with normality to class because dentistry is a career that requires a lot of practice to be able to perform good procedures.
I would't make changes in this curriculum
because we have scientific branches, but we also have research branches to
expand our knowledge by our own and humanistic branches that help us understand
more about the environment of our future patients and our goals as students of
health, professional ethics, etc., which is quite complete.
About the workload, I think the subject called “Bases
Científicas y Clínicas para el diagnóstico I” its very demanding, this is
understandable, because we study a health career, but if the tests were with
less content and not 20 classes for a single test, we could better integrate
the knowledge. The lenght of study is always almost all day, due to work,
watching classes, studying, it is difficult to control that, so I try as much
as possible to organize myself well to have a break time on the weekend.
Personally, I don’t like online clases, I have
always preferred face to face contact with people, its more fun and you feel in
company. Despite this, in general teachers have made an effort, occupied
the technology in the best way, making dynamic presentations, even with memes
or cartoons that make you smile and replacing some previous teaching methods so
that we can understand better, what I would change from this, is to have less prerecorded classes because it encourages me to watch the class either in the
morning or at another time, feeling that responsibility, and not accumulate
some classes as it has happened to me before, also with this way you can
interact more with the teachers and classmates.
And what about you? What changes would you make in your study programme?
