Hi everyone this is a post about the changes I would like to apply in my career (Archaeology).

Some years ago the Archaeology curriculum map of the University of Chile really attracts my attention, but now I think that it should be modify. We need specific subjects about etnoarchaeology, rock art, hunter gatherers, contract archaeology, conservation, praxis archaeology, among others. In the same way, some subjects left over. This situation actually is going through by a modification process, but I not sure if they really solve the problem.  

Anyway, besides the subject’s situation, we have a big problem in the career, we don’t have fieldwork. Is very important than the archaeology students have the possibility of leave the university and know the archaeological sites (Is very different read about how an excavation does and really does). Taking into account the number of students, is difficult go far away. Considering the lack of money, we could visit the archaeological sites around Santiago.

Finally, maybe this is not really a university problem, is more such as education problem in general. I would like to change the methodology of evaluation. Some time it is given more importance to knowledge than the abilities. In the twenty one century we have practically all the knowledge of the humanity close at hand with a cellphone.

I think with these small changes, the university would prepare better professionals.
