Sounds familiar. I'm not sure what I expected, but a whole bunch of diagrams and almost nothing else was not it.
We did do a full piece of software, though, as a common project between all the classes (HCI, database management, software engineering and communication - services and network), but it sucked. We pretty much had to spend more time on making diagrams and plans for all the classes than we did on coding.
Okay, I guess someone should post a photo now.
