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.

April 29, 20195 yr comment_574506 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?

April 29, 20195 yr comment_574510 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...
