Which British universities' History Departments hold the best academic reputation ?
Q. Specifically, good reputations for research in Modern British History.
Asked by Rita K - Mon Jan 12 06:11:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Do you want an undergraduate course - or a post graduate course. If post graduate you should remember that we do things slightly differently in the UK. In American Universities you choose the University first - do a general year for a PhD and then opt for a course within the University. In the UK you apply for a particular course - which has already been awarded funding. You will then, upon acceptance research into a particular area - so rather than choose the University you would be better looking at post grad. opportunities in an area of research which interests you. This applies to Science which I know a little about. For history you may be able to work on your own - but do remember that we are far less financially generous to… [cont.]

In applying to an academic program, is it a problem if my letters of rec are from profs outside of my area?
Q. I am applying to an academic program. My letters of recommendation are from academic professors, but they are outside of my major/focus. For example, I am studying Health Policy and Administration and the letters of recommendation are from a Philosophy professor and a Demography professor. Both applicable to the industry, but not directly in the HPA department. Should i really have a HPA recommendation or should I be okay?

What are graduate school comprehensive exams like?
Q. I know that some graduate programs require the completion of a comprehensive exam. What are comps like? I hear about them, but never heard anything about the format or the exams. Are they created by the academic departments, can they be multiple choice, or written. I'm just trying to get an understanding of what comps entail? I am wondering what happens when a student doesn't pass. I am assuming that they won't receive their degree since it's a part of the program.

A. What the exams consist of varies by university and department, but generally the departments write their own each year, and no, they are not multiple choice. I took the comps a few years ago in my program (physics) and they consisted of 5 hours of tests per day over 3 days testing 4 major subject areas I had taken undergrad and graduate courses on - problems designed to make you not only demonstrate what you remember from the courses but to take it to the next level on most of the questions by interpreting the results in specific situations or show how they relate to other subfields.

Ok so I have to answer this question for my ethics class but I need some help with it, University professors?
Q. are usually fairly bright, and they typically hold reason in high regard. but sad to say, university professors are not widely acclaimed as moral models. In fact, academic departments are notorious for being dens of intrigue and betrayal, and squabbling among faculty is comon. If that assessment of the moral status of university faculty is accurate does that count against the claim that rationality is the core of ethics?

A. Just because university faculty is generally held as the intelligencia it does not imply they are rational. As you said their actions (which speak much louder than their words) are not very rational. This irrationality extends to their poltical ideals which are generally pretty wacky too.

What programs/departments are UCLA and UC Berkeley known for?
Q. I know that some schools have stronger science/math departments/programs, and some have stronger liberal arts/english department/programs. What is UC Berkeley and UCLA particularly known for in terms of academics and stronger programs for people interested in majoring in that particular field? Honest answers are appreciated. Please don't trash any of these schools or give me a biased answer based on school rivalry or what not. Thanks in advance. 10 points for best, thorough answers!

A. Both UCLA and Berkeley are large public schools and are very well rounded. They're not tech schools like Caltech or MIT. It's probably easier to list their weak departments than to list the ones that they're well known for, as almost every department is pretty highly regarded (Berkeley especially, I believe 35/36 of its departments are ranked in the top 10 ). Among the general public, the majors that stand out at Berkeley would be engineering (every engineering except Bioengineering) /business/economics/scien ces/mathematics. Those would probably be more well known than say, going to Berkeley for English (even though its English department is ranked #1!). Berkeley is also well regarded for law.

A. There is no way to politely do that. You just deal with him strictly about what you need to get done and nothing else. If this is hindering you, make an appointment with the dean of students or the chair of the department of your major and discuss what problems you are having with that person. I wouldn't use words like jerk, nobody likes him, etc. Just stick to what the problem you are having and ask for help for a solution. I had two academic advisers (one was for a program within a larger program) who refused to talk with each other. If I needed any advice about course choice, I had to run from one building to another and then back again, sometimes as many as three times.

The beliefs of a God cannot be consider academic, since such claim of a creator cannot be a testable hypothesis and of course the teachings would be based merely on faith.
