The curriculum of my study programme is very variable, since it lets you know about the many areas of specialization you can pick. I don’t know if I a change could be made to the programme, since I don’t know about it very much, but the little I’ve seen about it, it seems like every subject you have to study prepares you to the next, so all the subjects (or many of them at least) are very connected and thanks to that, you don’t feel like what you learnt the past semester was useless.
I think that the workload is ok now, but the second year students say that’s very stressful and that they don’t have time for nothing, but I haven’t reached that point yet, so I don’t really know. The only thing that I would change is the obligatory CFG. There isn’t always time to pick a CFG, and if you pick one, it works like any another subject, with tests, and obligatory assistance, so it could add some stress to those weeks where you have all the tests and exams.
About the faculty facilities, I think that they’re okay, at least the ones that I’ve seen or been. Maybe they could build an additional space to eat lunch or just to be there, since Anexo sometimes is very full and you may not find a proper place to eat out, like when it rains. About the labs that I’ve been to, they don’t have equipment in poor conditions or if they have, they fix them soon. At least that’s what I’ve seen, I don’t know how the other labs and facilities are.
About the teaching methods, it depends on the teacher. There are some very cool teachers that could make the most boring thing in the world sound as a fantastic thing, and there are others (won’t say names) that teach something very interesting but they’re so dull and monotonous that you can barely be in the class without boring to death.
That’s definitively something that must be changed.
