26\/11<\/div>\n
On the 26th I went to the university knowing that I had 2 meetings scheduled, one at 11:00 with the computer engineering department and the other after lunch with the quality assurance department. However, when I arrived in the morning \u00a0at work I got to know that the first meeting was canceled. Instead, I went to the library, and the librarian Julia, offered me turkish coffee, fruit and chocolate. She also gave me a present, a book with the title: \u201cRealities as if unknown to turks\u201d, a collection of letters written by armenians about the genocide, written in four languages: Russian, Armenian, Turkish\u00a0and English.<\/div>\n

The library was quite small and the books were old. There was no computer in the library, the borrowing of the books is\u00a0done manually. Actually, there was none in the library, the librarian said that armenian students do not like to read books! (similar to our students? \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
The second meeting was also canceled today, it is shifted to next week. It seems that they are quite\u00a0flexible with the meetings!<\/div>\n

The meeting with the computer engineering department was rescheduled on the 27th. I had no idea of what was the agenda and who would come to the meeting (I would not accept this in Sweden!). The evening\u00a0before I browsed a bit the site of our faculty in order to be prepared for the meeting. When I arrived at university, I went directly to the meeting room and it was full of people, mostly students but also faculty staff. They asked me to talk about the TS faculty, so I improvised a presentation of TS (thanks to Filippa T since she sent me a ppt presentation of TS). One of the faculty member translated my talk. \u00a0After that\u00a0they asked me specific questions, like what programming languages do we teach, detailed of the web design course, and of the database course. They also asked me about the research and example of projects. That was a difficult question, I do not have a good overview of the research done at our computer science\u00a0department and know nothing about the projects at IMP. I searched and showed some slides from the latest presentation of the IOTAP research center.<\/p>\n

In the evening, I got a video of the presentation (a slideshow with music), which is also available on Youtube:<\/p>\n
