Self Evaluation of My Academic Year (2009)

The present evaluation is a history about my academic year in sociology of University of Chile on 2009.
This year was very complicated because I have to study many subjects and many teories about society and differents elements.
This text has content: all subjects belong to academic semester and their difficulties; easiness; my appreciation about the way to make all subjects, their many authors to go trought; the quantity of written test, oral test and exam. Finally I want to tell you how I feel when I study this discipline and what things and elements I learn in this University.
My academic year was complicated. I have five subjects in the first semester and six in the second. I devoted to study four teories in the year: Teory Three, Five, Four and Six. Teory Three is most complicated of all, in this subject I studied three authors: Jurguen Habermas, Niklass Luhmann and Pierre Borudieu. The authors has generals teories about to operation of society in the world. I had one written test for each author and finally I gived oral exam at the head of teachers and two assistant professor. I felt terrible, the head was to exploit me. The situation was horrible but I give a good exam and I was the person more happy of the world.
Others subjects were to make lighter, Theory Four was a subject of inequality. I saw and read twelve authors that to reform to Karl Marx and his theory. My perception to the subject is positive, very interesting and useful to understand the world.
Subjects belong to first and second semester are sociology of culture, two subjects to investigate (Taller one and two), and the subject to relate to politics public. The last subject to divide: the first part is Politics Public and the second part is Evaluation to Politics Publics. The big subject is very useful to work in the government.
This year was very interesting. I learned elements very useful to be sociologist and to understand the society. I`m happy with this discipline, but sometimes I didn`t want to study because authors were difficult to understand and I cried because I didn`t understand the main idea of author. I believe that this year is the most difficult and I studied many hours all weeks. Finally, I will finish the discipline because it`s not long till to end the subjects. I will try to study like year 2009 because I get good mark and I passed all subjects belong to sociology.

Challenges in your discipline

In my discipline there were many challenges:

Technology: this word means advanced machinery to service the humanity.
The challenge of sociology to relate technology is: to use machines for welfare of humans, the technology should be to serve society. Humans can to utilize all information technology to increase solution of socials matters. For example, poor people needs water services in our country, this matter to be resolved to expand technology tool.
Others matters to be resolved the technology are: poverty in areas of country, this matters can be resolved to building houses for all chileans with advanced machinery.
Social Matters: Mistakes or bad elements in society harmful to many persons.
There are matters like poverty, unhealthy people, thiefs. All things to happend because mistakes in the system. This mistakes were caused for dominant persons to repeat failures since beginning of world.
The sociolgy study all failures and solutions for all mistakes of system. The discipline has many subjects to teach teory a practices. The subject "politics publics" is very complete to give solution to social matters.

Education: this element is the key to have a better world. If people to receive complete education with teachers devoted to students the all level`s education, children and young devoted to learn more elements to live in society and parents devoted to be happy wit their family; the society will be calm tomorrow. Today the eduaction isnt good for all people, only some people have excelent education.
