I would have an exam in the next ten days. It’s the second part about PhD exam. If I pass this part then I would be a student. We should have the test online. We are not allowed to go to the university. This year lots of tests are online. The graduation test are also online. So the test in this month and next month would also be online. I think that’s simple, students stay at home in front of their computers and behind them, there are the second computer or phone. The examiner would have two sides to see the graduation and us. I just see the first computer, the second computer behind me is for the examiner. The second can show the environment of us and they can see our first computer from our second computer. Teachers are together, they can see us and our environment clearly. But, I think for the graduation, these tests are simple and convenient.

I would have an exam for the next ten days. It’s the second part of the PhD exam. If I pass this part then I would be accepted as a student. We will have the test online. We are not allowed to go to the university. This year lots of tests are held online. The graduation test is also online. So the test in this month and next month would also be online. I think it’s simple, students just stay at home in front of their computers and behind them, there also need to set-up a second computer or phone. The examiner would have two cameras to see the graduates and the students. I can only see the first computer, the second computer behind me is for the examiner. The second can let the examiner see the surroundings in the student’s environment and they can see the first computer from the second computer. Teachers are together, they can see us and our environment clearly. But, I think for graduation, these tests are simple and convenient.
