So how did this turn out?  Or don't you want to talk about it?

It wasn't pretty. She never really got anything proper pulled together. One of her other professors felt like the teaching professor sort of left them hanging. It is what it is now. I told her "just get the diploma" and move on.

Sorry to hear that. Since you came to us two days before it was due, you were clearly desperate. (As evidenced by the fact that you came to us!     )

Well it at least sounds like the grades going into that project were good enough such that even a poor grade on that one, there was enough cushion to maintain a passing grade for the semester. Hopefully that's the case.

The wording of the assignment made it sound like it was a group project... Was there input from other team members? Or despite the description, was it an independent effort?

Some questions are meant more for testing the thought process than getting the right answer.  It might have been an impossible task from the beginning.  She could have simplified one of the complications by chocking the wheels.

Tried to find an old Gary Larson cartoon about cows and physics but found this one instead.

That's one of my favorite Far Side cartoons ever.

I've even heard that "My brain is full" phrase uttered in technical project meetings.  Maybe even by me...
