Some Changes in my Study Experience

To begin with, I have to say that: being a second year journalist student, there are subjects and contents that I have not yet been able to experience, but I will give my opinion from the inside with the courses I have already taken, and from the outside about the courses I have not yet taken.

The courses I have already taken, in the first year, were mainly theoretical and in a non-pandemic normality, therefore, I believe they were carried out in a good way. In general, these theoretical courses are based on reading a lot and studying theory, which I think is a good place to start. There are also slight approaches to practice, but not complete.

From the second year onwards, practical courses such as Radio, Photojournalism, Audiovisual Language, among others, begin to appear, involving not only a theoretical but also a physical disposition. Personally, I have not had the opportunity to take these courses online or in person, but I imagine that in pandemic these courses were not very viable. Should pandemic continue, one change I propose is to improve the experience of the practical courses on an online platform.

In terms of campus infrastructure, leaving out the context of the pandemic, I think the campus is good in terms of space, but I think it needs improvement in some things. It could have more green areas, more specialized rooms for film and journalism, more study spaces. What should be highlighted is the space it has, the libraries and the sports campus.

Finally, I believe that the use of technology is and will be essential, especially in the context of a pandemic. It makes learning easier and more didactic.
