Use & Users Field Exam

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

A few people asked if they could get a peek at my Field Exam list. I’m happy to report that my list was approved by the Doctoral Studies Committee on Monday. (yay!)

I’ve translated the whole thing into BibTex, and you can get a copy via CiteULike: Field Exam 2008 (in BibTeX).

Enjoy!
