(UPenn does require entering students to take an exam upon entering the program to guarantee that they have a certain amount of undergraduate-level competence: math.upenn.edu/grad/prelim.html) But like at Cornell, the big exam during the graduate program is fairly individualized. | |
| Feb 23, 2011 at 2:52 | comment | added | Pierre | @Emerton: your advice makes a lot of sense, but again I guess I'm looking for an incentive for everyone to try and communicate better, not just the few speakers who actually care. Another idea that I'm toying with, but that's a bit much for MO perhaps, is anonymous feedback after talks | |
