And soon it becameevident that professors, participating as “students”, had many deficiencies in their professionalstraining, such as:1. a lack of appropriate oral and writing skills;2. a very poor orthography, unacceptable in professionals;3. a very poor vocabulary, specially in the humanities area; and4. a very poor and insufficient preparation, for historical, philosophical
