Changes to my Study Program

¡ Hello to everyone !

Today I would like to speak to you about one of the latest changes occurred in the place where he studied, the school of government and public management of the university of Chile.

This change is associated with taking or registering courses.  Long before I will enter the race, a system of courses is established based on a ranking of notes, which positions the student or student in a place of this ranking according to its general average of notes and credits obtained when attending the branches of the race. This caused some discomfort in some of the students, , since the notes often do not reflect the knowledge, but depend on of the criteria of each teacher or of their form of evaluation, So that those who had worse notes were, forever, at the end of the ranking, with no possibility of being promoted nor to choose teachers and timetables at will.

This finally changed! After a long process of information, discussion, meetings and, finally, a plebiscite, the school community decided to change this mechanism of taking courses by the ranking of happiness. This method of enrolling courses, operates under a fairly random logic, without considering as criteria the student's grades . The courses will be enrolled according to how happy make the or the section (Teacher and schedule) to the student, giving us all the possibility to remain the least with one of the teachers  that are within our preferences.

It seems to me that this is a very positive change for the School, since it generates a more equitable climate, fair and collaborative between the students.
