In general I think that the programme of Art history and theory that I'm studying it's really well designed. The courses are related to each other so the diferent contents are approached from diferent perspectives and areas of knowledge. The study programme is designed in a chronological way so the first years you see from ancient art to the rennaisance and baroque art, and then modern and contemporary art. I think this is a great way to learn how the occidental art got to where we are right now.
Maybe a change that could be made to that it´s incorporate oriental art history, because the programme it´s onl focussed in occidental and latinamerican art, but there's a lot that we are not learning at all about, the japanese or chinese art tradition, the art of the middle east cultures, for example, and I think it could be intresting to compare the occidental tradition with what happened in other geographic contexts.
In therms of the teachers I think we have really good ones, people who knows a lot about what they are teaching, but not every one have a pedagogical study, so I think it should be mandatory that every teacher should have some instruction in education techinques and methodoligies. This should be an stadart for all the university, so we have not just erudites making classes, but teachers who know how to teach.
About the faculty facilities there's a lot of things that should be improve, in my carreer we don't need a lot of infrastruchture, because we are a mostly theorical carreer, but we need more study spaces, and computers. Also the classrooms need more modern projectors and computers so the teachers can show better images in their classes. I think that's in general what I would change in my study programme.
