More of the Same

I found out today that at UMich, at least in the nuke department, Ph.D. students are discouraged from doing a master's thesis. It's usually a function of coursework: I think it's something like 30 hours have to be taken.

Also, qualifiers are given at the end of January and May. (School starts Jan. 3 and ends April 20.) I might take mine next May, since I am told that the reactor theory course I am taking this semester factors heavily into it.

ANS meeting next week: I present in 7 days 12 hours.
