Bill:

I am forming a committee for my comprehensive examination, to be held sometime
this fall -- probably October.  I would like for you to be on my committee.
Can you tell me about your approach to comprehensive examinations?  For
example, do you place an emphasis on review of coursework, exposition of a
research paper, a mix of the two, and/or something else?

Thank you.
