Post 5: Changes to my study programme

First of all, I will mention that I am a student in Art History and Theory, I love my degree, but there are definitely some things I would change about the curriculum.

To put this in context, he also pointed out that I am a first year teaching assistant. During this period, he has seen many basic deficiencies that should be addressed in school, one of which is reading comprehension and with it, spelling (I understand that not everyone comes from good schools, that they were trained with a pandemic and that no one is born knowing) but I think it is unusual for words like "Bibir" even with digital spell-checking tools.

I understand that in many arts courses (such as theatre or dance) there are special entrance exams. It would be interesting to use a test of this kind for Art Theory and Art History, something like a literary creation under certain parameters, taking into account spelling, cohesion, creativity, etc.

Another aspect to be developed, and along the same lines as spelling, would be to strengthen the Writing Workshop, integrating aspects not only such as the search for one's own style, but also coherence, argumentation, the hierarchy of the topics to be dealt with, etc. Far from the hippism that is so dominant among certain teachers.

I feel that in Chile the humanities are perceived so badly is due to these same hippisms disconnected from reality, reconsidering the arts and humanities as disciplines of a great and beautiful study.
