I've had senior slump, too. Just take it easy, try and do what you can. If you know you're going to avoid work for a day, don't try - take the day off. Go to the hills and then work the next day.
If you can, cultivate a short hobby in something else, and see if you can do that for some of the day, and work the rest of the time. That sort of works for me.

Seconding the above post. The absolute best way I've found to motivate myself when my degree starts to drag is to find something else worth doing. Nothing makes uni more bearable than being happy with the rest of your life.

If you're not going to graduate with honors or something otherwise (this guy right here) you might try and calculate out what you need to get done to get a passing grade, then just do that. I know people who've done well enough with all their busywork and essays that they're just outright bailing on finals week and taking the subpar marks they get. You know what they say - "C's get degrees".
Anyhow, I've got about ~35 pages to write and 2 presentations to give in the next week. It's more or less my last week, but it's also the most academically rigorous week I've ever had. Just bad luck, I guess.
Also I have a question for the people - Anyone ever taken a two weekend, full-day course before? I'm tempted to sign up for one and just punch out my degree as quickly as possible, but I've got another, easier class I could take in a month's time and another harder class (that I'll probably need down the road) over two months' time. Anyone have experience with krash kourse klasses?

Grades? Ha! What are those! Just a word. No, not even that. Letters! That's all they are. Letters. :mrgreen:

Never done a two weekend, full day course, but I've done a two week ASE class that went from 7:15 or so until 12:15. It really starts to drag sometimes, especially if the professor isn't good at keeping you engaged the whole time. Also, I assume the class is during this summer? What building is it in, and how is the AC? If you are struggling to not fall asleep all day because it's 90 degrees outside and the building was built in 1910 and hasn't been touched since, you are going to have a hell of a time learning enough to pass.
