The main objective of the article is to revise several points of view that emerged after reading the paper mentioned above. The author does not aim to write an erudition on the topic, what is aimed is to motivate the readers to keep on investigating and, if possible, to promote the practice of the elements that can contribute to the improvement of the teaching-learning process. The article also presents the role that has to be played by the professor who teaches in the institution.
