A small piece of feedback: the CS degree's description says, "I hanged it on the wall"--the past participle for "to hang" should be "hung"[0]. So, the sentence should read, "I hung it on the wall..."

Another small piece of feedback: Even though they're both "hung", the correct term for it is the "past tense" or "past simple". It'd be past participle if it was "I've hung it on the wall".

I understand the distinction between the past tense and the past participle is fading away in informal American English ("I got my hair did" anyone?), but it's still quite odd to see them confused in writing.

Thanks!

Thanks for catching this. Will correct it ASAP.
