The last one!

This is a very long academic year, not only for the duration it is very long also, because we had to do a lot of class works and tests. This year we had seven subjects every semester, because we had English such as obligatory subject during the two terms. Personally I liked much more the first term because the subjects was more interesting and in my opinion the subjects of the first term was more productive. The subjects of the first term were psychological systems and theories, social psychology, psychopathology, neurophysiology, develop psychology, English III and statistics II. And during the second term we have cognitive neuroscience, develop psychology II, social psychology II, introduction to the psychological evaluation, psychiatry, English IV and qualitative methodology.

During this year I think that my academic performance was good, despite this semester I had troubles with a subject because I didn’t understand the content of the class, but this doesn’t matter anymore because I understand the content now.

I’m going to start for the subjects of first term. The subject I like the most was statistics II because the numbers relaxed me; I guess you are asking now why chose this career if I like so much the numbers, well that have an explication, it is because I don’t like the math and equations and all of that, I like read but in this career we read a lot and I bored of that, so the numbers relax me and makes me think in other things different to the books and letters, it is my favorite subject also because I had a excellent an grade. Psychopathology and psychiatry was other of my favorite subjects because the mental disorders and the personality disorders like me a lot, and my marks in those subjects were very good.

Usually I have good grades in the test and works, but obviously not always because in the university that it is not rare, all of us have bad or regular grades sometimes.

The others subject like me too, and in my opinion I had a good academic performance in all of them, I really study a lot for all the subjects and that is reflected in the most of my grades and class works, I think that I am a very good student, but for that I don’t have a life!. Well the second semester is almost over, and I think that my academic performance was only regular in this term, because it was a very strange term and some subjects I really don’t like. So, the other year I will have better grades, I promise!.

Thanks for all Teacher Alvaro, the class was very good...=D.

challenges in psychology!

In psychology always are challenges, in all the areas and approaches. The most important challenges in the discipline are doing research about discover the cure for the different psychopathologies, such as the schizophrenia, personality disorders or depression. Also it is necessary doing more research about the different pathologies because it is important do more discoveries about the mental illness, because it is necessary improve the quality of life of the persons who have a mental disorder.

For that psychology needs more technology in the research area and more studies about the that topic, such as the studies in course of the behavioral psychology about a test for discover the depression in children, this investigation it is very important because give to the psychologist the opportunity of detect the depression earlier and use the appropriate treatment for the child.

I think that an important challenge in psychology is develop more technology, such as a very specific scanner of the brain, for study the neurons in detail and how it connects. Also it is important develop a method for study the interaction of the neurons with other neurons and how they form circuits and systems, and how that systems produce the emotions and behavior in the humans. Because the knowledge about that is very little and it is necessary for the discipline and for a better life of humanity.

This technology gives to the psychology the possibility of cure some personality disorders, schizophrenia or depression, because in the neurons connections are all the information about the person and her/his behavior. The social matter can be help to persons with psychopathologies or intellectual deficits, regenerate more neurons(neurogenesis) or create new connections between the neurons, and with that change her/his personality and in some cases cure the mental illness, in that way psychology research can improve the quality of life of the patients.

The education in psychology is very important because permit to the discipline transfer the knowledge and permit to the new generations improve the old investigations, and also it is important improve the education in the universities about the psychology because it is a challenge in the discipline produce better professionals for doing better research and therapies.
