    It turns out that at least some grads found comps useful (good!), but this is also in part a function of format. So, what was yours? I'll start: 1 2–hr oral comp, closed note, based on syllabi from coursework + my own work. 1 56–hour written comp, open note, based on a set list.https://twitter.com/AnnaMeierPS/status/1290847103686709250 …

    I have yet to find a grad student who thought comps were useful. Sadly, Twitter tells me I cannot tag Literally Every Professor.

        This is one reason I loved the political theory comp format (present a paper, get feedback, write a revision memo, revise, resubmit). It was the most useful way I can imagine a comp going. The American written comp... not as useful.

        8-hour closed note for CP! What I found them useful for: (1) introducing me to the Annual Reviews as a resource; (2) organizing scattered thoughts about core concepts / teaching myself to read the lit intertextually; (3) distracting myself from the onset of the pandemic; ...

        (4) I'm doing a "state of the poli-sci field" project this summer, so I suppose it was useful prep work for that. But that's totally idiosyncratic.

        Two written comps - one 6 hours, one 4 hours. Closed note based on a pre-set reading list provided by the faculty. Oral comp merged into dissertation proposal defense. I worked hard for comps but learned a lot, so in the end I'd say it was worth it.

        One 1.5 hour oral exam with half an hour each on your major sub-field, focus field (curated reading list), and secondary sub-field. You can present work in methodology to opt out of one of them. Political theorists don't have a major+focus, instead we test on Herodotus to Weber.

        3 fields w/ written exams, each 9 hours. (Get Q at 8 AM, finish by 5). Followed by one joint oral exam (two hours). All based on field lists. I don't know that the exams themselves were useful, but spending several months reading important work I hadn't yet read definitely was.

        I loved comps + also felt like it was the first time everything I'd been reading and hearing about the past 4 years fit together. I can honestly say that w/out them, I never would have become an academic. But part of that was a function of knowing nothing abt academia or polisci

        b4 grad school. Ours I think were 8 hrs open book (three fields)? But I don't remember... I also had an amazing cohort and we all studied together. I learnt a ton, and go back to stuff I put together then for teaching all the time. Also I didn't take IR. I prob wld have hated IR.

        After first year, 4hour closed book written exams. After coursework, 2hour closed book oral exam with 5 examiners. 2 in minor field and 3 in major (w/ abt a 50-book syllabus for each). NB: the dept scrapped this format a couple years later as being counter productive.

        Israeli universities don't have comps as far as I know. We defend our research proposal after the first or second year and at the end defend our dissertation
