Changes to my Study Programme

Hello there, dear reader.

Today I will tell you about, well, what the title says... what I would like to change about my actual study programme.

First of all, let me clarify something: I am not really motivated to write about this, mostly because I consider it a boring subjetc to talk about, though it has been a hot topic lately in my career... so I beg your pardon, if I bore you to death.

Well, where were we? ah, right, the changes I would like to do in my study programme... 

I feel like my study programme is kind of fine the way it is, I do not think it needs to be dramatically changed, not at least its compulsory subjects... Perhaps, I change in the elective courses would be necessary.

Let me explain myself: in this four years, I have seen that the offering of electives in some areas of psychology are huge, being more than four or five (if not more than that) different courses for the same approach (like psychoanalysis, where they offer a lot of courses per semester) while in other approaches, there are not more that one or two courses (in humanist psychology, there is one elective course per semester).

 Well, I think that that must change, because I think that is just not fair, for the people who do not want to specialize in the favoured psychological approaches, like psychoanalysis and systemic approach. 

I would like to be able to actually choose electives courses in the area of psychology that I am interested in, and not being forced to choose courses from any area just to have enough credits to graduate from my career. It is just ridiculous that I will be learning techniques and stuff from areas that I do not like or I do hate, and at the same time, I would have not learned a single thing about the are in which I will be working in the future... 

Some people have told me about this that I can "learn on my own" about humanist psychology, but I think that is just plain stupid... if I am wasting five or six years going to an university and paying for it, then I would expect to actually learn something useful there... I can perfectly "learn on my own" about humanist psychology without going to an university, but since I am paying to learn about that subject in an university, I expect to actually do so.

Long story short, I would like to make the offering of elective courses to be more varied, and with a more balanced number of courses per area.

And, that's it, see you next week~
