Are you ready to explore new horizons of knowledge with USP? Which course caught your attention the most?
How outdated! Most of it is in person. It stifles the opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to take courses, since they live elsewhere. The idea is wonderful, but this idea of being offline should be used more.
My wish is to take at least one course at USP, but I've been trying to get in to register for free and I haven't been able to.
