I made it through comprehensive exams without major incident. The preparation and the exam itself are both intense, and the combination was certainly one of the most challenging and stressful things I have ever done. You would want me to be honest, right? It’s over, though, and I admit that I know more about higher education off the top of my head than I ever have. Barring any unforeseen chance that I fail a section, I am legitimately a third-year Ed.D. student.
It was interesting that while my cohort took the exams on the first floor of Wyatt, the new group (Cohort 2012) met for orientation on the second floor. There we were, in one building, both extremes. Just a moment ago I read the account of my colleague in the second-year cohort after his first weekend of stats. That explains why his group was not around yesterday, on some other floor of Wyatt. My advice- keep up with stats for the next year, because you are going to see it again.
