Summary

This video is a session of the introductory course at the Faculty of Psychology, University of the Republic (Udelar), Uruguay. The main topic is academic planning, presented by Sebastián Gadea, Ivana, and Luciana from the evaluation and monitoring line. They begin by presenting the sociodemographic profile of the incoming student generation, based on a survey. Key data include: approximately 3,700 students entered in 2025, with a highly feminized enrollment (about 75% women), average age 25.7, 60% residing in Montevideo, about half working, 18.4% having children, and 47.2% being first-generation university students. They also show age profiles (17-18, 19-29, 30+), geographic origin, household composition, and educational climate of origin. They explain that these variables are associated with academic performance and retention, and that many failures are due to abandonment rather than difficulty. They then discuss the academic curriculum and the importance of academic planning, emphasizing the need to balance personal life with studies. The session includes interactive polls and a game to visualize time. The presentation aims to help students understand their own context and make informed academic choices.
