On Monday, all graduating seniors in the department of electrical and computer engineering have to submit a CD containing various assignments we've done over the years. Students in the other departments don't have to do this. This year the pressure is really on us computer engineering students because we are the class of record for our program's attempt to get accreditation.
I've got all my material together and now I'm giving it one last proofreading before I convert all the files to pdf's as required. I've observed that, oddly enough, the work has grown somewhat less polished over time as fatigue takes its toll. Part of the problem is that we've had to do paper after paper on the Hamster project, all of them basically the same but slightly different, until we're finally driven mad and allowed to graduate.
