CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hello everyone!!

I´m studying dentistry, I´m in 2nd year and the truth is that many times I have thought about the changes that could be made in the study program, sometimes I think that th
ey should mix some subjects, remove some not so important units and that the schedule don´t be so extensive.

In the first year of the career I consider that there´re contents that could be removed to make the academic load more enjoyable. I would leave physics and chemistry only in the 1st semester and eliminate some not so necessary content.

In the second year I have 3 subjects that I consider to be very similar, since sometimes the same themes are repeated, these are: Evidence-Based Dentistry, Anthropology and Health Promotion. What I would do with these 3 subjects is to unite them, to have less workload.

I know that with some modifications to the study program, the career could last 5 years, since 6 years still seems a bit excessive, apart from the fact that in other countries the dentistry career lasts less.

Regarding the online classes, I liked the methodology because I can better organize my time, see the classes again and I can sleep much more than I would sleep in face-to-face classes. But I would like to have more face-to-face activities next semester because I think that always watching classes through a screen is a bit tiring and affects concentration.

Have a nice day!
