Changes to my study program
The changes i would do to my study programme (basically to my career) are a lot.
In the first instance, it would start by separating from the root the three mentions of anthropology: Social Anthropology, Archeology and Physical Anthropology. I would do three different careers and not three specializations in Anthropology (as it happens today). This, because I think they are really different, and by separating them, they could be deepened and developed in a much more complete way.
As what interests me is Social Anthropology, I will focus on the changes I would make in it.
I feel that more subjets of Political Sciences, Philosophy and Linguistics should be added. I think this because the formation of a social anthropologist has to contemplate an extensive knowledge of the political relations, philosophical conceptions and forms of languages, so he/she could be able to apply them in the cultures that will study
In relation to the workload and duration of studies, i think that it’s okey. I mean, obviously I would like to have more time to read everything I need, however that can not be done because the reduction of hours would simply make the anthropological study less profound.
The buildings and infraestructure could be bettter, that it is a fact. But Social Anthropology doesn't need as much infrastructure as the physics or archeology (that need laboratories, extensive technological use, etcetera). In fact, I think what this area of study needs most are good teachers, who plan their classes in advance and have field experience.
And that obviously, use methods corresponding to the 21st century.


i think the same thing, when i had to do this post, im gonna copy you the idea
