I am studying two years ago at the university of Chile, in the journalism career at the communication and image faculty. From my experience I like the subject system, I think its complete and efficient. In the first year, most subjects are theoretical, like communication theories, journalistic ethics and history of Chile. We have one practical subject: redaction. This subject leveled students' writing skills and I learned to write journalistically.

The second year has been much more practical, because you write reports and chronicles, do interviews, go to press point, etc.

I like the learning structure, its very flexible, the teachers too. The schedule is don't burden, all semesters I have the free day, so I love this part.

However, I would like the university to use more resources in better computers and more camera equipment. I'm not really complaining about the structure of the building, but it does need to be improved and more green areas included on the campus. In the cafeteria issue, I think I would offer more vegan or vegeterian options.

In other issue, in my opinion what must be improved most of the faculty is the selection of teachers or limit the freedom of chair. I add with the free of chair, but there are class groups that do not learn even half than other groups. You must teach what the program says to apply to journalism, and, for example, the teachers choose to deepen, but always teaching the largest amount of program contents. The last semester had a teacher that never taught us how to use the cameras and did not give us feedback of the tasks, and it is supposed to teach photojournalism. University would looks at the pedagogical motivation of teachers and their teaching strategies.

In summary, technological teams are missing and fully comply with academic programs by teachers. Everything else very good
