Students: the end of the semester is near! What's left?

Just because I’m trying terribly hard not to whine, I just need to know that all the other students are there are in (or are approaching) the same boat.
I have:

Due one week from today, major group project. Expected deliverable at 50+ pages. We don’t want to talk about what hasn’t been completed so far, but there’s a lot. Presentation for the project is the 22nd.

4/20: Project presentation for another class. This project is just me, and involves a comprehensive search for a researcher. First set of results is going to the researcher tomorrow to make sure that I’m heading the right direction. Paper for this project is due 4/27, except for one part that includes locating items from the search and describing how it was done. That part is due the 20th, along with the presentation.

4/26: presentation #3, based on a 20-25 page research paper. I turned in an outline in February, but have done nothing beyond locating articles since them. The paper is due the same day.

No final exams to take.

It will all get done, I’m sure of that. Now that the comprehensive exam is done and I’m waiting for the results, it’s probably good that I have all this wonderful stuff to keep me busy…but now that I’ve taken comps, I’m having a tough time worrying too much about classwork.

So make me feel better: what do you still have to do this semester?

Software Engineering project - Due 29 April (group of 4 with one member who can’t seem to adjust his schedule to make group meetings - but I’m too lazy to pit him) as well as the final exam the following week

Web Development project - Due 30 April (solo project that I can probably hack together in about 4 days) Thankfully, though, NO FINAL EXAM!

Final Masters Project - got a full year left on that clock, but I would like to grajeate sometime in the next few months.

May all Doper students get the Slack they richly deserve.

Two different ~15-18 page papers due April 26, I think. I’m thinking about getting started on the necessary research for those soon.

Some sort of as yet vague GIS group project involving local bike trails. It will involve producing about a zillion maps and then making up some kind of report which will eventually be given to whatever powers in the county are actually involved in trail development. I’ll be due the first week of May.

A few finals in the first week of May.

In short, probably just what people would call easy undergraduate stuff. I can still put things off for a while. Hooray for procrastination!

1 5 page paper that’ll count as an oral presentation.
1 8-10 page paper on a topic I haven’t picked yet.
1 5 page paper on a topic I haven’t picked yet.

A couple finals and tests and stuff.

Thesis - Must be finished by Monday.
Defense - May 3rd.

I think that’s more than enough.

Blurg. Let’s see here.

One presentation, which requires a PowerPoint slideshow.

Two papers, both of which are two-thirds of the way done, thankfully.

One paper that hasn’t been started, but shouldn’t be too bad.

One project that shouldn’t be too bad.

Two more tests, both in the same class. (Second test and the final.)

All to be done by the end of this month, so it isn’t quite crunch time yet, but it’s coming.


<< My life may be strange, but at least it’s not boring. >>

Let’s see (grabs rather small day planner)

Research paper due–April 19th, 3pm
oral exam cringes–April 14th, 11:30 am
journalism assignement due–8 1/2 hours from now, and I have yet to actually start.

8-10 page essay paper due at the end of the semester, another warm up essay (progress report and annotated bibliography for the research paper), a revised essay ( I want a better grade), finals in every class (5 classes) a couple geology field trips, and then a week off before I start summer classes.

Make that a 8-10 page research paper. Two tough mid terms this week have left me fried.

Tuesday, April 13th - honours thesis due. It’s mostly done but I still have a LOT of editing to do.

Thursday the 15th - Genetics exam, 65% of my grade

Thursday the 22nd - Biology of Organisms exam, 65% of my grade

Friday the 23rd - Latin exam (and my god, it’s going to be murder to prepare for) 40%, and final essay (15 pages) due - 40%.

Last semester’s school stress was great, thanks for starting this one!

Besides a bunch of reading, a few written reports of several pages each and studying for finals.

I’m on spring break right now, so I’m not trying too hard to think about assignments. I do, however, have a 4-5 page paper due Tuesday. I’ve yet to pick the topic, but I’m pretty much deciding between the Investiture Controversy and a comparison of Aelred of Riveaux and Thomas Aquinas.

Let’s see:

I have a 3 page paper due Tuesday that I haven’t started, but it won’t be difficult.

I’m waaaaaay behind on case briefs for one of my criminal law classes. I need to have 'em all done by around the 30th. So far I have a low C in this class, but if I do all the case briefs and make at least an 80 on the final, I’ll get a B.

I have to make up a psychology test on the 30th.

I love school but I’ve been in it year round since last January. At this point I’m like “I don’t care I don’t care I don’t CARE.” And since I’m doing summer school, I don’t get any time off between finals. Oh sure, I’m only taking one class during the first session of summer school, and it’s a fun one, but it’d be nice to have a week off.

Personally, I’m having a hell of a time mustering up much energy for school because it’s almost summer and I’m dropping out anyway to go work at an awesome job.

WANT…TO…CARE…BUT…CAN’T!

MA (creative writing/teaching creative writing):

8 short stories comprising half of the grade for the degree (I have 4 1/2 done and NO ideas for the rest) and a whole class with syllabus and lectures that for the teaching part that is growing exponentially as we speak and is looking to be between 75-100 pages. This was due the 26th of April, but we got an extension because they may be firing the head of the department and reorganizing the master’s program (we were supposed to have heard what was happening at the end of Feb., the middle of March, the end of March, and now the admin is just telling us “soon” :rolleyes:)

THEN we get the other 50% of the grade after the summer–a creative thesis (that for some reason they call a portfolio, even though that, to my mind, is a collection of things and this could be one thing, like a novel). I am not worrying about that one yet.

And, yes, I am on the SDMB and not writing. :slight_smile: It keeps some of the hyperventilating to a minimum.

I’m doing my best to not think about it and you, Lsura, are not helping one iota!

1 10 pages paper
1 4-5 pages paper in Portuguese
1 2-3 pages paper in Portuguese
1 cumulative final in Portuguese
1 more reproductive biology seminar to attend
1 more quiz in cultural diversity
3 more birds to skin

Sounds like the case of senioritis that I’ve had going on (well, technically I’m not a senior, but I am in my last semester and that’s the same thing, right?)
Oh, and I’m job hunting too. Yay!

I have…

a group project to help write.
A 2000 word essay.
A critique on a newspaper to do. (Presentation)
And writing something designed for tv news.

There maybe something I’ve forgotten, but I think that’s it.

I don’t have too much to do…

1500 word philosophy essay for Tuesday (thinking about starting it today, shouldn’t take too long to write)

Some Economic Data Analysis assignments (not really sure what they are or when they’re due, though… probably should look into that)

3 exams (2 econ / 1 phil) in May. Need to do some serious studying for those econ ones, seeing as I’m failing right now… I hate that course)

Also need to figure out how to make £200 last 2months…I’m thinking overdraft…
