One of the best things about this degree is the Practicum which we all consider very useful and some of us think it should last longer. Also, studying a little bit of Psychology was very interesting since most of us have no idea on that, that could have lasted longer too. Another interesting subject is the one that teaches us how to teach the different skills like listening, speaking, etc. because it´s very useful for the teaching practice.
Most of the other subjects require quite a bit of work outside of classroom and the tight schedule makes it very difficult and stressful to comply with all of them. Some of us consider this whole degree as a mere introduction to teaching. There´s too much theory and too little practice. And the theory itself we see very briefly so even if we consider some of it interesting and possibly useful, we don´t have time to focus on it and it´s extra work for us trying to explore it in more depth.
As in everything else in education, there´s room for improvement. So, innovate away or innovate your way!
