I hate hardware classes.
During lab this afternoon, my partner and I spent about 2 hours trying to find and squash this bug. Even with the help of three TAs we couldn't find it in like the 50 lines of code. So we probably got like around a 25% on it.
...and of course during office hours 15 minutes later, I asked a different TA who fixed it in like 5 minutes. Hell I even *knew* that bug existed but I thought it was more of a feature of Verilog than anything. It wasn't even a problem with our logic, just some stupid syntax thing.
And right now for the lab last week, my partner, about ~2 hours before the due deadline, says my lab report which I spent about half a Sunday making was entirely too undetailed and she said she's basically rewriting it. I thought I hit all the points on the rubric and guidelines but apparently not since the draft I see her pumping out is like a work of art.
I guess both of these situations are entirely my fault and are due to my inadequacies and terribleness, but that doesn't make the situation any better because I spent so much time doing these assignments for the class. Hell, I volunteered during the entire postlab for Situation #2 since my partner contributed quite a lot more than me during the actual lab session.
