Summary/Abstract: There are so many pieces of knowledge, skills, and subtleties that I learned from my Professor that I hardly know where to begin… Therefore, the chronological order is probably best. Toward the end of my first year of studies, a rumor spread throughout the faculty: “Professor Constantinescu has returned to the country!” The older colleagues congratulated us: “You’ll definitely have courses with him—just wait and see what a professor he is…!” We imagined him as some sort of oil owner, in an outfit probably inspired by the TV series Dallas, but we were surprised, in the second semester of the following year, when we found ourselves in front of a man with a southern air, an impeccable academic presence, and well‑measured gestures and expressions.
