Explanation:
These are subjects that exceptional students are allowed to structure for their own specialized use and enhanced future admittance to Masters, requiring university approval plus a "director" of the said course to help the student. I was allowed, way back in 1958, to devise my own subject (Economic Geography Strategics), and my course director was Dr. Carlos Íñiguez, from Cuba.
