how many people took the oral exams?
sorry i missed the “out of 34″
Heinrich didn’t make honors again.
Oh well, hope you make it next time David.
How do you make the honors? Do you have to agree 100% with the opinions of your examiners?
Bruno, now that would be a silly exam, wouldn’t it? The point of the honors designation is that it illustrates that the student has mastered the material.
That’s more or less what happens in Italy, where exams in economics or politics are indoctrination tests… but then the whole academic system in Italy and much of Europe is silly.
Bruno,
The questions are narowly asked, in that it is clear you are being asked to explain how the Austrians think on various issues; examiners will even ask to explain what they said about various things in lectures. Thus, it is not a matter of agreeing with or disagreeing with what they said. You aren’t asked to agree with or disagree with what they said; hence, such is irrelevant. I don’t agree with “efficient markets theory”, yet I can explain it on an exam.

I think the problem in Europe is that academics usually get a permanent position very early in their careers (often by their early thirties). Once they do, they can do anything they want and no one can fire them unless they commit a crime.
In the US on the other hand it takes ages for a university professor to obtain tenure and they have to work to get it.
