CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

 

In 2019 I entered the university for the first time to study journalism. The duration of the career is 5 years, a total of 10 semesters. The curriculum consists of a total of 60 courses throughout the career. That year was unstable, the first semester there was a school strike for a few weeks, and the second semester the country experienced strong social changes that forced the closing of the semester earlier than normal. The changes I would implement in my career are based on my short experience in on-site classes and in the student assemblies that were made at the institute.

Regarding the journalism curriculum, I would implement the courses that involve the use of journalistic tools in the first year, such as radio, photography, and reporting. This is to experiment and get to know these tools before the theory. In addition, the curriculum concentrates a high load for third, fourth, and fifth-year students, therefore, the program should be reorganized.

On the other hand, the facilities could have more computer rooms, as well as more green areas and restrooms.  The institute has little technological equipment for all its students to practice in all the specialized courses, therefore, there could be more computers and production equipment for the students. In general, I had good teachers in my first year, however, sexist and humiliating comments and attitudes towards any member of the community should not be allowed.
