Blog 5: Changes to my study programme

I'm in 4th year of psychology, and I would make more practical courses earlier in the career. In psychology, we have to do our practice during 5th year, and in 3rd year some of the elective courses have practical evaluations, but not many in 3rd year do that. I think that more courses can do practical evaluations, because in this evaluations the students need to link the theory and the real practice, and I think that this prepares you for your work future. Also, more practical evaluations early can help like a preparation for the 5^th year practice, so that the change and responsibilities be more manageable.

Also, one change that the departament of psychology implemented this year was the "seminaries" in 4th year and it replace the thesis that you do in 5th year in past years. I think this is great because you work in groups of 4 during all of the 4th year in a specific theme and with a course dedicated only to this work. The only bad thing is that the themes are given to you, and sometimes you will have to do a theme that it is not of your interest. But this makes the work of making a thesis project a lot easier.
