POST 10: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME



Hello! This time I will talk about the changes I would like to make in my curriculum.

Regarding the subjects in general I think they are well organized and the content is adequate, but I would like some teachers to be more demanding. In the ICEI there are rules, but many teachers do not enforce the rules and that usually generates a climate of irresponsibility. I believe that responsibility is a very important skill that we must develop in our careers because it is fundamental especially in an area with a reduced work field such as journalism.

The duration of my career seems appropriate and the academic load does not seem excessive, but adequate. But I think that one problem with the academic load is that teachers do not agree to organize evaluations and for this reason many evaluations often come together.

The ICEI buildings I do not like because they have very few spaces to share outside of classes. I think it is essential to create a university community and without spaces to meet it is difficult. In addition there are some spaces that are very small for example the library. The library is a fundamental place in the university and in ours there are approximately 30 people and we are hundreds of students. The computers that are in the library are also very few and we use them a lot.

Regarding teaching methods, I usually find them appropriate. We have to do a lot of group work and although sometimes this is difficult, I think it is very good that we work in a group because in our work we will also have to do it. On the other hand, teachers are good speakers and very experts in their areas, so the classes are always pleasant and excellent.

POST 6: POST GRADUATE STUDIES

I'm still not really sure of the graduate studies I'd like to pursue because I've been worried about finishing my career. Although I think it's a topic that should start worrying me.  The problem is that I like many areas of journalism and that is why it is difficult for me to decide what I would like to specialize in. But in the last time I have thought about studying Data Journalism.  It is a type of journalism in which large amounts of data are analyzed (Big Data) and statistical methods are used to draw conclusions to create news.  To learn data journalism it is necessary to learn programming, mathematics and statistics.  Although it is a very difficult area, I really like it a lot. Data journalism is a very rigorous journalism and serves to find out things like political corruption or the crisis of the church.  For example in the film Spotlight use this method for journalistic investigation.  In Chile this area is not developed but I ...

POST 7: THEMED / FREE POST 3

Some time ago I was interested in learning about women scientists from the past and in getting to know some of the present. I am interested in this because the natural sciences are an area where there is a lot of machismo and in school when they talked about science they only showed us male references. Hard sciences such as mathematics is one of the areas most often linked to men and it is for this reason that today I will talk about Ada Lovelace , the first woman programmer in history.  Ada was born in 1815 in England and since she was a girl she studied mathematics, driven by her mother. When he grew up he studied at the University of England and met Charles Babbage who designed an analytical machine that worked with the same principles that computers later worked on. Ada collaborated with him and invented the first alogaritmo to be processed. Thus it became the first that created a language for programming.  Ada was not only dedicated to mathem...

Post 4: Career related topic

When I finished studying at school, I felt very insecure and did not know what to study. My two options were: Cinema and TV or Journalism. I like watching movies, literature, writing and communications in general, so I had a hard time deciding. Finally I decided on Cinema and TV and entered the University of Chile. I studied Cinema for a year and a half and then decided to change to Journalism. When I was studying cinema, I realized that really more than making movies, I liked watching movies and writing about movies. I also realized that my favorite area was documentary film. For these reasons I decided to change to Journalism in the same University of Chile. The career of Journalism I like very much because it covers all my interests. I really like written journalism and also audiovisual journalism. Audiovisual journalism has allowed me to develop my documentary interest. Another area that fascinates me is investigative journalism, reports and chronicles. In general the texts that re...
