[MSc] Graduation

[dancefloorlandmine]

Given that I'm graduating a year late, due to Project Cock-Up, should I bother going to the graduation ceremony? I suspect most of my classmates who graduated will have done so last year, so I'll be with the following year's class. In addition, I need to pay for clown robes and so on. cookwitch has expressed an interest in attending, if I do, and valkyriekaren is pretty sure that she has meetings that afternoon (20th March). Anyone else want to see me trip up on the top step and headbut whoever's doing the presentation in the groin (a traditional part of the graduation ceremony)?

How many MSc CompScis need to resubmit their project, on average?

And how come Computer Science is a Social Science? Surely, as valkyriekaren says, it's an antisocial science?

OK, Birkbeck is part of the University of London, yes? In which case, the MSc gown is a standard black masters' gown (with closed 'tudor' sleeves) and the hood is black, 'full shape' (ie with a squarish cape attached to the cowl) lined with yellow-gold silk. In fact, the Burgon Society have one in their archive - here's a picture.

Aha. OK, fairly decent! Ta!

Yeah, they certainly look a bit smarter than the rather underwhelming grey polyester that York uses...

True, I've worn better than that when having my hair cut - then again I do occasionally get my hair cut ;)
