This year, during the month of September, just as raging the exam session, I focused to look at the guidance of faculty. Looking for the courses that await me in this third year I discover that hardly anyone matches what I remember!
Do not panic, we ponder. The warning "In the academic year 2009/2010 is on the first year of the course," he clarifies the ideas. My curriculum has just been changed and many courses are not as I remembered them. If I had read carefully the guidance of faculty would have noticed that the book is change in the name of the curriculum. My idealistic "Cooperation, Development and Peace" has become a more professional and pragmatic "Institutions and organizations for cooperation." No more development, then? And we make peace?
The first year has remained the same. The first 60 credits of academic life of a student of politics are always the same: a smattering of economics, sociology and political science. Feature of the curriculum is cultural anthropology: an inviting journey into cultural differences.
The second year, however, change. An examination of 5 credits to be chosen from a long list of students the chance to characterize its curriculum. Become binding International Protection of Human Rights later in the third year, another optional course in international law. Now I understand why the change of title is not just a change of form but of substance!
the third year, will reduce the choices between economies, but it confirms the list of courses. Finally it explains why a curriculum to be filled! To be more free to choose courses will certainly be a benefit to everyone.
Unfortunately I have to stop dreaming and remind me that I must try not to look at my resume and that of others! The only way I now know what courses are waiting for me is to try driving on the old site of the faculty.
Now I just hope that everyone will read the warning, and no action to take courses following the new curriculum ...
