Project review

Most of the seniors in my department have told me that project review in my department is not easier as they start asking some crap in the review and I didn't believe it till I experienced it myself in the zeroth review. I was a bit nervous about the review as I did nothing for the project other than having a look on it on the penultimate day of the review.

But there was a little confidence in me as my batchmates were well prepared and I had confidence in them to solve the problem with ease. The project guide was also in support for us so I was hoping this to get on smoothly. To make you know the state of the people inside the review committee here is a small example.

One of my friends was doing a project on designing a robot and he has even took part in the Robotics competition that took place in IIT last year.

Staff: Everything is fine but are u going to sense the motion of the robot

Student: The sensors is used to sense the motion

Staff: How will you program to sense the motion. What language will you use?

Student: The sesnor is a device and it detects the motion of the robot and it cannot be done by programming . The device must be bought.

Staff: Oh, The sensor is a device .. k..k..

This shows how brilliant are the staffs in the comittee and this needed and as I feared they started asking stupid questions to my batch right from the title of my project. They wasted about 10 minutes with the title slide and were not satisfied with the explanation I and one of my batchmates gave them although it is correct one. After around half an hour they left us finally saying that there are a couple of changes to be made in the report and that our project title has been selected. We came to realise the problem only when we approached the staff after changing the report. The staff has understood the concept to be wrong and now wants us to do the project as suggested by him. The new problem statement is about three times complex than the one that we have been working already and as far as I have asked the people who are in the field have told that this cannot be done in a time span of three months( time allocated for the project by the university). I was expecting 2009 to be good but like the previous year it has started out with problems once again.
