Hi!

Today´s blog is about some changes I would make to my study programme to improve it.



The first thing that comes to my mind is that nobody teaches you how to use the computer programs (like Photoshop, AutoCad, Illustrator, etc) you need to make good architectural plans and other kinds of digital representation. I've seen many of my second year friends having troubles with that, trying to learn by themselves and wasting a lot of time on it, because the teachers don't usually teach about digital softwares, but they still expect you to know everything about it. Just a few teachers make a short class about it and they teach only the basics. I think digital representation is a really important thing to learn in Architecture, so there should be an obligatory subject dedicated to that topic in our study programme.


I like the carrer, but I really hate the fact that the academic load is too heavy so you're always stressed, you don't have enough time and It's difficult to have social life or time to spend it with your family, friends, etc. At least in my case, I feel like I can't take all of the courses I should In the semester, because I'm not sure If I'm going to be able to pass them all, so I prefer to take my time and to really learn the subjects instead of being just focus on pass all of them and not truly learning. I think It would be good to have less subjects per semester, but I don't think that's possible so I will just continue with my "method".

I also think that the infrastructure of the faculty could be better, like having one clasroom for an specific workshop, air conditioner and heating in all the classrooms, more green zones and many other things like that, but I guess that's all for this blog.
