Today marks the first day of the last semester in the pursuit of my Bachelor's Degree. I have exactly one course, "Culminating Special Project."
"The culminating special project may take the form of an academic research paper or creative activity project resulting in a tangible product, either of which should demonstrate synthesis of a student's coursework" -- in this case, Information Technology, Software Development, and Management courses.
The only problem is, the ideas I've had so far haven't really "grabbed" me, if you know what I mean? I've gotten a couple of very good suggestions from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gryphonrhi and alysswolf, and a few that crawled up from the depths of my own reptilian mind, but nothing that really lights my fire.
I've been leaning towards the Project option rather than the academic paper, although I'm not excluding the Paper option at this point. "The project may consist of creating curriculum materials for training, designing/developing a computer program, building a website, etc. You will be required to identify a professional in your project field to review the proposal, the final project and the PowerPoint presentation."
To date, the two front-runners have been a pair of software development ideas. One would be for use in designing the curriculum for a martial arts school, the other would be for setting up a schedule for a convention (juggling speakers, panels, rooms, etc. so that you don't have the same speaker scheduled to be in three places at once). Unfortunately, the latter idea has a flaw in that I don't know anyone who would qualify as a professional in that field. For the former idea, I could use either my current or previous martial arts instructor.
Further suggestions gladly taken!

And yeah, I've noticed that most large universities seem to think that you should be able to get from one side of their campus to the other in 5-10 minutes. For a physically compact campus, that's one thing, but for a sprawling campus, that can be a real challenge!
