Do PhD students have written exams? I thought they did research and wrote papers? How can you write an exam to test a PhD student when they are the ones coming up with the knowledge in the area?
- honorious 12y agoPhD students take classes, and some of them do have written exam (in CS theory more than other parts of CS). In the US, where the PhD is 5 years, you spent a good portion of the first 2 years taking classes. Before coming up with new knowledge you need to know what's already out there.
