A big "But I want to code something /useful/, not waste a whole
year on some academic code that nobody will really use!" might
accomplish quite a bit when you have sensible teachers/profs...
Btw, we also want you to do something actually useful in a whole
year of coding! A good coder shouldn't waste an entire year on
research code... :(
succes,
