Abstract

I review the current status of stellar population modelling, with particular emphasis on the treatment of the Thermally-Pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch stellar phase. I discuss how much the physical properties of galaxies that are derived applying these models to real data, depend on the adopted model.
