Week 6 in Malta

Everything is progressing smoothly. Lectures are being delivered; the APT courses are moving along fine. The APT students submitted their first assignment: a literature review of the topics they have been assigned. Surprisingly, only a few of them really understand what a literature review is. Essentially, I just asked them to redo the assignment. Next week, the System Architecture is due. I think they'll do much better on that part of the project.

I very interesting fact that I failed to mention earlier is that every Maltese citizen is afforded a free college education + some amount of stipend. Of course, only those who qualify get to study in the University. The others are likewise supported to go to technical schools like MCAST. They also have a socialized health care system that provides for all the citizens.

Here are some more pictures taken in Mdina and Rabat, where the early Christian catacombs are.
