What I would like to change in my career

Well, my career is not well made in general, there are some unnecessary subjects in our basic cycle and there are some teachers who should leave this department because they are no good for the disciplne. Anyways, I want to talk particularly about physical anthropology because in the first semester of 2018, me and a group of -now- friends started to look programs in differents universities around the world to know how they teach physical anthropology and we notice that here is horrible, and because of that,  we made a formal request to the department of anthropology to change the program of our career, or to close it, so we have been in talks to arrange this career since then until now. First, physical anthropology doesn't have good methodologies, because we don't learn useful tools to work after graduate, so basically we didn't know how to do anything: proper methodologies are necessary.  Secondly, it doesn't have any real theory, only genetics and evolution, it didn't make sense to have 2 subjects about evolution when you even see evolution in the basic cycle TWICE; we need new theories. Third, the subjects are way to heavy to the students, they have to study sooo much, that mental health in physical anthropology is a huge problem so it's necessary to distribute the academic work loud. Fourth, there are few teachers, so everything is concentrated in a group of persons who do everything, which is bad, we need more teachers to have more subjects! I can keep going, because it has too many problems, but I just hope it can change for the future generations.

I'm going to leave the link of our request here, so you can read it to know what happened with physical anthropology in our university ✩
