Anthropology nowadays is already in a changing process, which started around the time my generation started studying. This fact makes me feel satisfied with the current curriculum for the career; besides, I don't feel I'm in conditions to suggest anything related with a matter this relevant, or at least not quite yet.
Regarding workload, my opinion is now the same: subjects show an abysmal difference in terms of workload, some of them demanding way too much time due to long texts that require more time to be read, others make you research for details and additional information than the rest and, finally, there are subjects in which you don't need to make a big effort to approve, more than just attend regularly to class. This, for me, is a negative trait, as it makes you focus on specific topics, leaving the rest aside or making you pay less attention to them because you need to put all of your effort on the most demanding ones. This is not fair, as all of us want to learn and understand all of our subjects evenly.
About the physical environment, I think the campus is lacking nature, there are not enough green spaces and grass and places to spend our free time on, breaks become dull because of the little room we have to rest. However, I love the artistic expressions you can see everywhere you go, it makes the place less monotonous.
Libraries and classrooms are another point to consider, as they are small and feel even smaller with the number of students that transit the faculty on a daily basis. This can also be seen on the cafeteria, a place that doesn't have enough room to contain everyone, despite lunch is an essential meal.
And last but not least, some professors are in need of more educational formation. We know that not all of them are teachers per sé, it's completely understandable, yet this fact makes an important difference during classes, as their traits and/or way to approach contents, tests and evaluations are lacking elements that pedagogues do include in their methodology.
