That sounds a really good strategy. Thank you!!

Yes, thus I am actually trying to read some chapters of each book more carefully. Thanks for the comment

Hi! I actually applied for IDRF for 2018. I'm a third year history phd student. So I guess we're gonna here back the first round response in Feb right?

Hi! I was hoping someone, more specifically from history department crowds to get back to my concerns for comps. I am currently a third year in History Ph.D. I will be tested on Modern Japan (but mainly on post-WWII era and post-3.11 Disaster period), US Popular culture (US TV/domesticity and Generation X), US foreign policy (nuclear age diplo and imperialism), and Material Culture/Visual Culture. For 4 different fields comp, there are two sub fields. I roughly read about 15-20 books for each question, so that means roughly around 120-160 books total (overlaps are allowed), and I know that it is relatively a low number of readings as compared to other historians' story on their time of the comps. Right now, I am trying to figure out the effective way to gut the books and not be killed with pressure tbh. Then also, how was your comp written and oral exams were like?

no I wasn't told of any ceiling for UH Manoa. Honestly, Q part doesn't matter imo.

Don't worry I got into a phd with V 156

Started my program from this Monday and I'm really glad I picked UHM as all my cohorts and profs are fantastic!!!!

My goodness, roaches at Davis too? I'm seeing way too many roaches here in honolulu already

Just registered my classes and got my student ID card finally!!

Just as everyone else, I have TA orientation from 17-19 and on 20th, I have grad orientation so can't wait!!!

Yea I used to read book reviews during my MA program and I'm reading some of the assigned books at my university library now
