Professor: -
Ementa: The course has a variable schedule. A specific syllabus will be established each time the course is offered in the SECOND semester of each year. Its content will be related to topics not included in the syllabuses of regularly offered courses, but important for the student’s scientific training. The course may be offered in a condensed form and its program will be organized by the Professor responsible, from the Institution or visiting.
