Hey everyone — I’m a final-year student, and I’ve been wondering this a lot lately. We always hear that “you need a good project to land a job”, but most students I know either copy from GitHub, get stuck, or just… give up. We’re doing a small open survey to understand this from both sides — students and educators. If you’ve ever: Built or struggled with a final-year project
Helped someone else do it (educator/mentor)
Wanted to sell or learn from real-world projects
We’d love to hear your honest experience. 🙏 It’s just 2–3 mins, totally anonymous. 📄 Survey Link – for students & educators
We’ll be using the insights to create open resources and maybe a system that actually helps. Thanks in advance if you participate — or drop a comment about your experience.
The reality is most students are trying to simply submit a project the teacher will accept and grade well while not killing themselves doing it since they have other classes they have to pass.
If you want to change this, the entire post-secondary system would have to change.
