General Exams

Yesterday I completed my general exams for my doctoral degree in the History of Science. Woot!! The process involved three eight-hour written exams followed by a two hour oral defense. The time-crunched writing was certainly stressful, and I was anxious about the oral exams. However, by far the most difficult part of it all was the preparation. So much reading! And then so much re-reading!!! The entire process was a constant reminder that education is a lifetime commitment. Expertise cannot be rushed. Despite the fact that I read many books and articles, and then re-read many books and articles, I’m sure I only partially understand what I’m studying (Ssshh… don’t tell my committee members).

For the curious, here was my official reading list for my three tested fields for my general exams. My fourth, and untested field was in Islamic Science, which I completed through coursework.
