Well, this is a bit bit embarasing, but I know there’s a lot of stuff happening around the faculty but I haven’t got much info about it (yeah, shame on me). But I’m quite aware about the lack of teaching staff. I’ve seen that in many courses teachers are retiring or quitting, and there’s little staff left in some units. I don’t like to badmouth people, but I’ve heard from some older students that some teachers are far better than others in some courses, so I’m really getting worried about this. I guess most of them left because teaching isn’t well paid here (and the rest of this country), so I guess it would be necessary to give raises and some other bonuses to encourage teaching. But before that, we/they yo really study the situation in each department and consider which ones lacks more staff. Besides this, it would be really helpful that some of the new teachers had actually a real pedagogy course (ahem). No offense, but some teacher are really bad at expressing themselves, or they start ranting about anything but the course. I think teaching is an art and science, and being an expert in that theme isn’t really enough to make someone else understand it.
A new or bigger teaching staff could really improve the student’s academic results. I’ve heard from many faculties that people don’t get grades this low when they are at third or fourth year, so it’s troublesome when you have to compete for scholarships and even jobs. I’m not saying that they should lower the academic demands, but maybe organize the courses better ans ask stuff that really matters instead of just memorizing random (and most of time useless) tips.
