Hello, today I am going to talk about some changes I would make to my architecture syllabus.
First of all, architecture is a career known for requiring a lot of time to perform the work and models that the different branches require, this has caused many students to be mentally overwhelmed, since they spend many days focused on making project deliveries, to the point of not eating, sleeping, or performing the basic needs that a human being needs. I remember in first year I had classes from 8:30AM to 7PM and then I had to get to study and do architectural projects, it was really exhausting (and still is).
For these reasons and in the face of poor mental health of students I think it is necessary for the faculty to increase the number of psychologists and counselors.
About the facilities of the faculty, I think there is a lack of study and work rooms, since, generally the works are group work and for this reason the students stay to perform at the university. But more important than this is the lack of a casino in salubrious conditions that would allow us to shop within the same faculty, making use of our scholarship and thus saving us time and money.
Finally, regarding the teaching methods, at first it was difficult for me to understand that at least in architecture you learn based on mistakes, but now in the fourth year I think it is a good method to improve yourself and not compete with others.
