ARE YOU REGISTERING FOR ADVANCED AND SPECIALIZED SUBJECTS?

Dear Specialized Subjects students,

Now, we can start teaching and learning the very first day of the semester.  This is so because all of you can have all the necessary information before that day.  This means you can get the materials and assignments in advance.  You have the chance to get ready and participate in the first lesson. Here, you have the list of materials, assignments for the first day, and the readings required for some subjects. Besides, the place where you can get all the materials is provided here.

I hope this information will be helpful to all of us
