The presentation will be organized 'directly' from your web site and it will be accessible to interested persons also after the course. A specific web page it will created afterwards.
Each student must be ready to answer pertinent questions from the attendees

Ipothesis of application: It is recommended that
each student performs with available and known software a direct
